Its organisers, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), want it to raise awareness of Muslim Women’s social and economic contribution to British working life. Trevor Phillips, Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, said: “By celebrating the success of British Muslim women in business, the arts, media and the public sector, the Power List will challenge stereotypes”. ## Advertisement [⌊Posthub advert.

The project is being piloted this year with a view to maintaining a network of women who can benefit from each others’ experiences of forging a career. Any British Muslim woman over the age of 18 and in employment may apply; nominations may be submitted by or on behalf of an individual.
