Mosque bans women and girls over 12 from participating in ‘inclusive’ and ‘family-friendly’ charity fun run Campaigners described the move as 'regressively sexist'

(GB News) A mosque has banned women and girls over the age of 12 from participating in a charity fun run.

Muslim Charity Run, organised by East London Mosque, called the event “inclusive” and “family-friendly” despite only letting men and boys take part.

The event is being held in Victoria Park in Tower Hamlets and will see no women complete the 5km circuit.

The Aspire Party is the local authority in the area, headed by [Lutfur] Rahman, a former Labour councillor who was removed from his position for electoral fraud, but re-elected in 2022.

The move by East London Mosque comes amid increasing concerns about the rise of sharia values incorporating themselves into British society.
