It is a basic right for all men and women to vote. A blanket right should be rolled out universally across all Khoja jamaats

Mothers (female) Give birth and bring up children not only Boys! They bring up Men who are voting, if it wasn’t for the creation of female....?

we are busy preaching from our pulpits about how Holy Prophet “liberated” women in the Stone Age... we are busy pointing fingers at the non Muslim communities in their dealings with their women... we should preach to ourselves now!

Yes its time to move with the world. To answer comments below. The Khoja women are not here to make Khichro. Very offensive to us.

Salaams, women are 50% of the khoja population.
Ensuring their ability to vote ensures that the welfare of our women and girls are always at the forefront, and their voices are heard. Women go through many unique challenges. It would be a shame for them to not have a platform in their own community, which is often the most viable place for their issues to be addressed.
