On Saturday 28th March 2015, the Women's Section of the Central Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir successfully hosted a historic, unprecedented International Women's Conference entitled, "Women and Shariah: Separating Fact from Fiction". It was a momentous event that united gatherings of female-opinion makers held simultaneously across 3 continents and in 5 countries: Palestine, Turkey, Indonesia, Tunisia, and Britain. Those who attended included female journalists, politicians, academics, activists, lawyers, scholars, leaders of the community, and representatives of organisations. The atmosphere within the conference halls was electrifying and attendees described being impressed by the professionalism of the organisation of the event and extremely motivated and empowered by the content of the speeches and videos. Gatherings of women also took place in many other locations globally to watch the conference live, and the event was also broadcast online to viewers internationally.
