As part of the ongoing CHILL Campaign, the Islamic Women’s Council of New Zealand introduces Samadiana Fariz, an accomplished gymnast and coach whose presence and participation in sports directly challenges stereotypes about Muslim women.
The CHILL Campaign, an acronym for Challenge Islamophobic Language and Loathing, is a 10-week initiative designed to counter gendered Islamophobia by showcasing the achievements and lived experiences of eight Muslim women in New Zealand.
Jesse speaks Samadiana about the campaign and her role in it.
