This research cluster develops an empirical foundation, drawing from the lived experiences of displaced Muslim women across diverse contexts, to reframe ethics of care in humanitarian responses in Muslim settings. It bridges theological, historical, and legal paradigms to develop faith-sensitive and faith-guided frameworks that enhance protection for vulnerable women in conflict and displacement settings.
This research theme employs a multidisciplinary methodology, including textual analysis, historical case studies, legal reviews, and elite interviews, to synthesise insights across normative, historical, and contemporary lenses. This cluster generates methodological, conceptual, and practical contributions to advance scholarship on gender, religion and migration. Through collaborative research and knowledge exchange, it supports aid actors like the UN, INGOs and OIC and enhances their role in ethical humanitarian reform.
We work at the intersections of:
- Engaging with ethics to conceptualise communal obligations for women’s protection and rights.
- Examining shifts in Muslim societies, from early welfare systems to colonial impacts, to inform modern adaptations.
- Addressing migration, human rights, and conflict through tools like philanthropy for empowerment and resilience.
