Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner has praised the work of Jewish-Muslim Women’s group Nisa-Nashim.

She hosted the group in her parliamentary office in Westminster on Tuesday.

They discussed the impact of recent social and geo-political events, such as the October 7 atrocities, on Jewish and Muslim women in the UK as well as the importance of empowering women in the interfaith space.

Rayner, who as well as being Deputy Prime Minister is also Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, said after the meeting: “I am very grateful to the Jewish and Muslim women I met who spoke to me so candidly about their experiences as women of faith in the UK today.”
