We’d like to expand our coverage, if possible. It’s difficult to find news about our sisters in places like Latin America, Chechnya, and Southeast Asia. Please forward stories to us or suggestions for English news outlets that cover these areas and these women; you can send them to muslimahmediawatch@gmail.com.
