[quote]Khan has sent over the advice she received  from a senior colleague in faith partnership,  Bob (Robert Packer) who is a regular reader of Renaissance.

&quot;Henna, I was concerned hearing about the pressures you faced from the male members of your team that finally pushed you to resign from some of your work including websites, although I believe that is hardly 10 % of your work in the community and must not affect your performance because you are working on multiple platforms.

However this is not the story of Muslim organizations only. We have this problem amongst other religious groups equally including Christianity. You are aware that women struggled for long time to become a priest, still there are many restrictions.

This is a sad state of affair but I am sure that with your ongoing efforts to educate the public in this regard, things will be better. I am a regular subscriber and reader of Renaissance that you initiated for me and I believe that the editor Mr.Saleem sounds like a sensible and reasonable person and will surely respond to logic.
My advice to you is not to give up on this. As we discussed at the Kingsway coffee shop I remember you mentioning, this must be God's will and there are times when you have to work at certain platforms and then move on, but I believe that God has given you this opportunity to educate your colleagues in this matter because someone has to take this issue on board. My sincere prayers are with you. Keep up your good works. See you soon at the next meeting. Hope you received the hand made cards I sent to you with the symbols of Islam and Christianity and the suggestions I mentioned about the work issues.&quot;

Khan then goes on and mentions a Pearl said to her on Friday night at the Mayor's Dinner by the Chief Executive Ms.Bagley, of Slough Borough Council (where Khan serves as the Vice Chair of the Review Committee of the Standards Board)
