RESOURCES for MUSLIM WOMEN 1

I am usually faced with clients who lose their support systems and need culturally appropriate support. Here are two organizations that work towards equity for women facing gender-based violence and inequality:

CANADIAN COUNCIL OF MUSLIM WOMEN

The Canadian Council of Muslim Women (CCMW) has launched its new gender-based violence project titled: Addressing barriers for Muslim women and girls facing GBV. This project will develop a systemic change strategy and tools to address barriers Muslim women face in dealing with GBV. This project will also provide services coordination for Muslim women facing GBV. [Note: They have a bursary program for women in financial emergencies.]
