Abstract
This work will attempt to identify the foundations of the roles religion plays in informing and legitimizing humanitarian activism, concentrating on women’s rights movements in Morocco. Specific focus will be given to how Islam and feminism have shaped one another, and the forms humanitarian organizations have taken in view of those streams of doctrine. In doing so, I seek to clarify the genesis of the divergent narratives and justifications currently in use for women’s rights agendas across political and sector divides.
