Communities Minister Baroness Williams will speak at the formal launch of a Jewish-Muslim women’s group next month.

The Tory peer is set to welcome the launch of government-backed initiative Nisa-Nashim, an interfaith body aiming to strengthen relations between the two communities.

Speaking ahead of the event, Baroness Williams said: “Throughout history women have been powerful drivers of positive social change.

"I hope that Nisa-Nashim will help equip women from Britain’s diverse faith communities with the skills they need to follow on in that fine tradition.”
