When I first heard about Sarah Zouak\u2019s Women SenseTour project, I knew I had to share her story with you. As someone living in Morocco and witnessing firsthand the incredible strength and diversity of Moroccan women, Sarah\u2019s mission to challenge stereotypes about Muslim women resonated deeply with me.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Woman Behind the Mission<\/h2>\n

Sarah Zouak isn\u2019t your typical recent graduate. Fresh out of her masters in Business School and International Relations in Paris, she could have easily settled into a comfortable desk job. Instead, she chose to embark on an ambitious 5-month journey across five Muslim countries \u2013 Morocco, Tunisia, Turkey, Iran, and Indonesia \u2013 with a camera, a mission, and an unshakeable belief in the power of storytelling.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Why Women SenseTour Matters<\/h2>\n

Bewildered in Morocco:<\/strong> Sarah, tell us \u2013 why \u201cWomen SenseTour\u201d?<\/p>\n

Sarah:<\/strong> Today, Muslim women in Western countries face stigma because of stereotypes surrounding Islam, particularly the misconception that we\u2019re oppressed and submissive. People need more role models of incredible Muslim women, and they need to understand that discrimination faced by some Muslim women stems from patriarchal systems, from men, from misinterpretations of religion \u2013 but never from the religion itself!<\/p>\n

I decided to seek out Muslim women changemakers and spotlight how they\u2019re driving girls\u2019 and women\u2019s empowerment. I wasn\u2019t interested in profiling just any successful Muslim women or entrepreneurs. I wanted to meet the ones fighting for women\u2019s rights in their countries. What better way to break stereotypes about Muslim women than by meeting activists and founders of women\u2019s empowerment projects?<\/p>\n

Her passion is infectious as she continues\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

Over five months, I traveled to meet 25 Muslim women changemakers. The goal? Raise awareness about Muslim women entrepreneurs, deconstruct harmful stereotypes, and amplify Muslim women\u2019s voices through a field-based documentary featuring these incredible women and their creative initiatives.<\/p>\n

Beyond the documentary, I write portraits featured on my website and through media partners. But I didn\u2019t want this to be purely journalistic. I added another mission: supporting these inspiring women through creative brainstorming workshops using Makesense methodology, which promotes social entrepreneurship. This creates real impact for our WST superwomen!<\/p>\n

\"Why<\/p>\n

The Perfect Storm of Passion and Purpose<\/h2>\n

Bewildered in Morocco:<\/strong> What pushed you to organize this ambitious project?<\/p>\n

Sarah:<\/strong> It was perfect timing for several reasons. I\u2019d just graduated and wasn\u2019t eager to jump into an 8-hour desk job. I\u2019ve always worked with non-profits because I can\u2019t imagine professional life without meaningful missions that align with my values.<\/p>\n

Women\u2019s empowerment is the cause that thrills me most, but I was always curious about religion\u2019s role in women\u2019s rights. The WST became a beautiful mix of all my passions: women\u2019s rights, travel, creating awareness about my religion to open minds, and working with amazing people I love.<\/p>\n

I decided to take these months to meet inspiring women worldwide and share those lessons with people in France.<\/p>\n

From Dream to Reality: The Journey<\/h2>\n

Bewildered in Morocco:<\/strong> Can you walk us through your project stages?<\/p>\n

Sarah:<\/strong> This year has been incredibly intense! I conceived WST in January 2014 while still studying. I knew it was ambitious, but I was determined to make it as professional as possible.<\/p>\n

The preparation took nine months.<\/em> When your vision is clear, surrounding yourself with inspiring people who believe in your project becomes crucial. Without my family and friends\u2019 support, WST would never have happened. My closest friends became my team \u2013 each bringing specific skills I needed. Every month, one accompanies me to a new country. I\u2019m incredibly fortunate to have them!<\/p>\n

Funding was challenging but rewarding. I diversified sources: two crowdfunding campaigns, public subsidies from my city and department in France, Sorbonne University, a Parisian restaurant called \u201cLa Fabrick des D\u00e9lices,\u201d and Women\u2019s Worldwide Web (W4), which supports women\u2019s rights projects.<\/p>\n

Then came research \u2013 identifying inspiring changemakers in all five countries \u2013 and communication, the most crucial element in awareness work. We invested enormous effort in our tools: video, website, social media, and daily updates for our followers.<\/p>\n

Currently, I\u2019ve completed Morocco and Tunisia, meeting 11 wonderful women and facilitating 6 creativity workshops across cities and small villages. I sought the most diverse, representative women possible \u2013 young and older, highly educated and illiterate, wearing headscarves and not.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"From<\/p>\n

The Bigger Picture<\/h2>\n

Bewildered in Morocco:<\/strong> What do you hope to achieve?<\/p>\n

Sarah:<\/strong> I\u2019m tired of negative remarks about Islam and Muslim women. Living with cultural stereotypes prevents societal cohesion. I want to live where differences become sources of wealth, not obstacles.<\/p>\n

I hope WST changes perceptions about Muslim women positively while inspiring people through these incredible projects. I want to prove that women\u2019s empowerment is one of the world\u2019s most important issues, and each of us can contribute.<\/p>\n

After completing the documentary, I\u2019ll present the film and portraits in French schools and organizations to change minds about Muslim women and discuss social entrepreneurship from feminine and feminist perspectives.<\/p>\n

Words to Live By<\/h2>\n

Bewildered in Morocco:<\/strong> Any inspiring message for our readers?<\/p>\n

Sarah:<\/strong>[Laughing]<\/em> If you want truly inspiring messages, you\u2019ll have to watch my documentary!<\/p>\n

More seriously, I\u2019ll always remember what one Moroccan changemaker told me: \u201cYou have to work for a cause bigger than yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Choose something that frustrates you about the world, your country, or your neighborhood, and transform it into a beautiful, positive project where you\u2019ll create impact and find happiness. It took me years to understand I didn\u2019t want to follow expected paths \u2013 I needed something more meaningful.<\/p>\n

Having ideas isn\u2019t enough; you must act! Don\u2019t overthink \u2013 act daily to improve your project. Surround yourself with inspiring, believing people with skills you need. Even when you\u2019re tired, sick, or angry, their support will sustain you. Listen to criticism but look beyond it, especially when it\u2019s unconstructive.<\/p>\n

As humans, we must improve our societies daily so we all learn to coexist despite different beliefs, origins, and ideas \u2013 free to pursue our goals without judgment. Some call me naive or overly optimistic. Maybe I am, but I maintain this positive energy because it\u2019s how I function, how I was raised. Negativity never achieved anything meaningful.<\/p>\n

Sarah\u2019s story reminds me why I love sharing these conversations with you. Living in Morocco, I\u2019m constantly amazed by the strength, creativity, and determination of the women I meet. Projects like Women SenseTour don\u2019t just challenge stereotypes \u2013 they celebrate the beautiful complexity of Muslim women\u2019s experiences.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
