“There is something powerful about picking up a sword, and this project allows participants to capture this power and see fencing and themselves in a different light,” – Georgina Usher, BF CEO

Muslim Girls Fence is a project collaboration between Maslaha and British Fencing, which aims to facilitate spaces at a grassroots level for Muslim girls and women to challenge assumptions and narratives relating to their gender, racial, religious, and other identities through both physical and creative methods.

The initiative also looks to break down conceptions of fencing as a white-dominated, elite sport that is inaccessible to young people of all backgrounds.

British Fencing provides training opportunities to up-skill women from the local community to deliver safe, fun, and engaging sessions, as well as working with existing fencing coaches who can support the delivery and open up opportunities for women to get involved.

“It’s definitely something I want to carry on, It makes you more confident and unique and is something that brings you together.” Student from Frederick Bremer School

“I really enjoyed the ability to discuss different things, getting to know amazing likeminded women and build my confidence in fencing.” Participant from London
