List of women-friendly mosques in England

An inter-faith organization just released a list of the top 100 women-friendly mosques in England. The criteria included things like separate prayer room, daycare services, women in decision-making positions, and women-specific activities. From Faith Matters' web site:

…this project is about promoting (i) good practice (ii) providing a benchmark for other mosques to work towards (3) highlighting the needs of women within today's world so that religious institutions can meet those needs.

Therefore, inclusion and accessibility to religious institutions not only helps to increase the development of healthy communities but it also sends a powerful message to those who think equality is of secondary concern within some religious places of worship.
