CCMW ANNOUNCES NEW 2023-2028 STRATEGIC PLAN
CCMW is excited to announce the launch of its new 2023-2028 Strategic Plan: Amplifying Our Voices – Addressing Our Needs, designed to give direction to our organization and to ensure that we remain committed to the equality, equity and empowerment of Canadian Muslim women and girls.
While CCMW received its charitable status in 2021 and celebrated its 40th year in 2022, of being a voice for Muslims in Canada --we seize this opportunity to create a better future for all Muslim women and girls.
As a Canadian national women-centric organization, we are committed to upholding the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and recognize it to be the foundation that protects us as women, a religious minority, and racialized minorities.
The Charter also sets out equality rights. Everyone in Canada has the right to the equal protection and benefit of the law, without discrimination. This means that the laws in Canada must be applied equally to all people, without regard to personal characteristics such as race, national or ethnic origin, sex, age, or disability (among others).
Our intersectional approach and partnership with experts, human rights advocates, social justice champions, community stakeholders and allies over the years, has helped create meaningful change, and we invite you to help us continue this journey and support us in accomplishing the outcomes set out in our new Strategic Plan.
CCMW’s Strategic Plan 2023-2028: Amplifying Our Voices – Addressing Our Needs, is a renewed commitment to take up the challenge to finish the unfinished business of women’s equity and security.
Developed by a creative and inclusive process led by Donna Joyette of Joyette Consulting Services, in consultation with CCMW members, staff, volunteers, Board, funders, community stakeholders and allies, the Plan lays out five overarching goals and specific objectives that we will work to accomplish in the next five years.
Guided by this plan, our efforts will focus on the following five key focus areas:
Active and Inclusive Membership
Clear and Focused Mission
Robust and Sustainable Organization
Enhanced Partnerships & Alliances
Advocacy and Support
These priorities set the stage to achieve our Mission and Mandate and we look forward to working with our Chapter members, volunteers, Board, staff, funders, partners, stakeholders and allies to help achieve these.
