The Impact of The Cost-of-Living Crisis On Muslim Women In The UK

This report highlights the disproportionate impact of the cost-of-living crisis (COLC) on Muslim women in the UK, providing a data-driven analysis that moves beyond anecdotal evidence. Conducted in partnership between the University of East London (UEL) and Islamic Relief UK (IR UK), the research aims to offer an understanding of the intersection between gender, faith, and poverty while presenting actionable insights for advocacy.

The findings are based on surveys and focus groups conducted with beneficiaries, staff, and volunteers from 12 IR UK partner organisations across England and Scotland. These insights provide a deeper understanding of how interconnected impacts of the COLC shape the experience of Muslim women supported by IR UK partners.
