Article 1
Headline: Pioneers on Mission to Kuwait - Break free of kitchen sink, Muslim women told
Section: News
Written by: ?
Page: 20
Outline: This article is about the trip of Manchester Councillor Maryam Khan and Fatima Mahmoud of the British Muslim Heritage to Kuwait at the invitation of the Government there to talk about women's rights.
The actual event itself is positive but the way its been reported is negative as the caption above the photo accompanying the article makes reference to Muslim women in some way being tied to the kitchen sink. The opening line of the article states "Two pioneering women...." this is a missed opportunity to highlight the fact that the two pioneering women are in fact Muslim pioneering women.
Quite often we see Muslims identified in situations where a negative story needs to be told, why can't the same be true when there is a positive news to report?
