Shirzanan Global

Shirzanan Global is a media and advocacy platform working to secure non-discriminatory access to sports for Muslim females. Shirzanan Global is changing the narrative around Muslim female athletes. We are dedicated to the fair and accurate representation of Muslim females and will challenge stereotypes exacerbated by mainstream media, promote them as role models, integrate them with the international sports community and develop cross cultural understanding. Translated from Persian, “Shirzanan” means female heroes and was the name of the first Iranian women’s sports magazine founded by Solmaz Sharif and published online from 2007-2009. Shirzanan Global is an updated version managed by public charity Non-Stop Media. http://www.facebook.com/shirzananglobal http://twitter.com/shirzananglobal DONATE https://www.launchgood.com/project/female_muslimsportsheroes#/
