Financial Agency
Why Muslim Women Need It
- & Why It’s Not Selfish -
- May, 2026
- Webinar
This workshop explores financial agency as an essential — and often misunderstood — aspect of a Muslim woman’s life. It unpacks the difference between agency and independence, challenges the idea that dependency equals piety, and examines how agency fosters confidence, respect, and safety. Rooted in faith and lived reality, the discussion reframes financial agency not as selfishness, but as responsibility, dignity, and care for oneself and others.
TOPICS INCLUDE:
- The difference between agency and independence
- Why dependency is not piety
- How agency creates confidence and respect
- Real-life implications for marriage and safety
