We meet in Sirat—that place where, according to Islamic belief, people are held accountable after death for their actions on earth. There, it is decided whether a person will go to paradise or to hell. Perhaps the only moment when we actually encounter God—and the only opportunity to confront him with what happens on earth in his name.
But to what extent is misogyny inherent in religion itself—or is it being exploited for this purpose? We bring the stories of women: testimonies of cruel practices they have endured, which are always justified on religious grounds. These are the voices of women who found the courage to speak about their experiences—and in doing so, are shaking the system to its core.
