On Monday, Time magazine named two prominent Muslim women, President Samia Suluhu Hassan and Afghan writer Hoda Khamosh, to its list of the 100 most influential people in 2022.
Samia Suluhu Hassan
62-year-old Samia Suluhu Hassan is a Tanzanian politician who is serving as the sixth and current president of Tanzania.
She has given Tanzania a diplomatic face-lift after the isolation during the Magufuli era.
“President Samia Suluhu Hassan took office in March 2021, and her leadership has been well received. That year has made a big difference to Tanzania. A door has opened for dialogue between political rivals, steps have been taken to rebuild trust in the democratic system, efforts have been made to increase press freedom, and women and girls have a new role model,” wrote the magazine about the first female President in the history of Tanzania.
Hoda Khamosh
26-year-old Hoda Khamosh is a well-known women’s rights activist, journalist, and campaigner who has launched several public programs to raise awareness of issues related to women’s health.
“Before the Taliban returned, Khamosh visited schools to promote empowerment and broke taboos around women’s health issues. She wrote poetry, and spoke of running for President. After Kabul fell, Khamosh risked arrest among the many brave women publicly demanding their rights,” wrote Time.
As per media reports, Khamosh was one of six Afghan women who were invited to sit with Taliban officials as they made their first invited visit to a Western country since taking control of Afghanistan in August 2021 to discuss the humanitarian and economic situation in Afghanistan.
100 celebrities of the world have been included in it from different fields from business to politics. Adani Group chairperson Gautam Adani is also included in this list from India’s side. At the same time, the name of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who became popular all over the world after the Ukraine war, is also in this list.
