Twenty-six Muslim women from 20 countries are featured in the BBC’s 100 Women List of the most inspiring and influential women from around the world.
This year’s list includes Hollywood actress and climate activist Jane Fonda and Sanna Marin, who leads Finland’s all-female coalition government. The first space on its list, titled Unsung Hero, is left vacant in memory of ‘those who have lost their lives while making a difference.’
Among the Muslim women recognised is an award-winning film-maker, a robotics team leader, a geneticist, a poet, several women’s rights and peace activists as well as a chair of a space agency.

Single mothers being moved out of temporary accommodation they have lived in for years say they are being threatened with homelessness as they are pushed into ill-suited housing outside Camden.
Vulnerable families from England’s Lane Residence – the majority of them women who have suffered domestic violence – have lived in the council-run homeless hostel in Belsize Park since 2004.
Some have lived in the temporary accommodation for as long as 10 years, and with their children often schooled in the borough and their family nearby, many regard Camden as their home.
