Hist/Bio Note

Founded in 2001, the Safra Project served as a voluntary resource project based in the UK active until 2005. A non-exhaustive selection of documents produced by the Safra Project can be found in the University of Kent's Safra Project Archive (2001-2005) as a part of their Decolonizing Sexualities Network: https://research.kent.ac.uk/decolonizing-sexualities-network/safra-project-archive2001-2005/ The Safra Project conducted research on issues relating to lesbian, bisexual, and transgender women who identify as Muslim culturally and/or religiously with a focus on feminist interpretations of these topics in countries with predominantly Muslim populations. The Project website was maintained until 2016.
