Nelson Mandela’s granddaughter applauds American Muslim women’s group

WASHINGTON – Nelson Mandela’s granddaughter praised the American Muslim and Multifaith Women’s Empowerment Council for promoting human rights.

Ndileka Mandela praised the group’s efforts to build bridges between communities and promote tolerance.

“It is so important for women of all faiths to come together and support each other. We must stand up for each other’s rights, and fight for religious freedom, which will ultimately lead to a more prosperous economy,” she said.

Founded in 2011, the Muslim women’s group aims to empower community and multifaith women through education and advocacy.

Mandela stressed the importance of women of all faiths supporting each other and fighting for religious freedom.

Among the achievements of the Muslim women’s group is a successful national campaign in which more than 1,000 women have been educated about their rights.

The group’s founder and president, Anila Ali, expressed pride in the empowerment of Muslim and multi-faith women and stressed the need for them to work together for their rights.

“We are so grateful to have the support of Nelson Mandela’s granddaughter,” said Ali. 

“Her grandfather was an incredible champion of human rights, and we are honored to carry on his legacy,” she said.

Ndileka Mandela is a social activist who currently heads a rural development organization in South Africa.
