Reproductive Justice Fellowship
In 2025, HEART launched our inaugural Reproductive Justice Fellowship. We recruited 10 young Muslims to lead their own reproductive justice projects, reflecting their own takes on reproductive justice and their faith.
In 2026, we held our first-ever symposium to celebrate the fellows, My Body, My Amanah: Muslim Visions for Reproductive Justice. Watch our highlight video and learn more about the fellows and their projects below!

The Politics of Care: Muslim Birthwork
With rising maternal mortality rates nationwide and continuing attacks on the basic dignity of birthing people in the US, birthwork and carework are more important than ever. Join Ja’Loni, Sadiyah, Mariam, and Balqies in exploring the different dimensions of carework & birthwork for Muslims. Moderated by Sahar of HEART, this panel covered projects on Islam-informed postpartum care, a zine on abortion care, and the prison-industrial complex.
Queer Muslim Futures: A Queer Muslim Led Approach to Reproductive Justice
In conversations on queerness, Muslims are often omitted; and in conversations on Muslims, Queer Muslims are often omitted. In this panel, Shariq and Radia discuss their research on Queer Muslim communities and reproductive justice. Moderated by Dr. Mariam Durrani, this panel explores what Queer Muslim-centered visions of reproductive justice could look like.
Exploring the Archives: Local & Global Archives of RJ
Muslims often span diasporas, histories, and continents. In this panel, Fardowsa, Fariha, Haseena, and Jade talk about their own archival work. Moderated by Amatallah of HEART, this panel featuring Haseena, Fardowsa, and Jade covered work on familial, diasporic, organizational, queer, and living archives.
Muslim Feminism(s): Community Based Approaches
Muslim feminism(s) can and does mean a lot of things. Watch our panelists, Sadiyah, Shariq, and Ayeh, in exploring what Muslim feminism(s) means to them and how they engage in Muslim feminism(s) in their own projects. Moderated by Dr. Amaarah DeCuir, this panel covered projects like hyperlocal Muslim women book clubs, Islam-informed postpartum care, and archives of diasporic Somali women experiences.
