November is celebrated as National Career Development Month across Canada. A time when most Canadians celebrate the importance of accessing meaningful work. However, a national study launched by CCMW recently revealed that despite higher educational qualifications, Canadian Muslim women face significantly higher rates of unemployment & underemployment compared to the general population.

Join us on November 28th at 1 pm EST as we hear Muslim women & Canadian employers unpack the study and talk about what it takes to make Canadian workplaces truly diverse, equitable and inclusive!

Muslim Women Scholars Series

The Canadian Council of Muslim Women (CCMW) is pleased to present the Muslim Women Scholars Series. One of CCMW's strategic goals is to promote critical thinking among Muslims and non-Muslims to challenge stereotypes and assumptions about Islam, Muslim women and their families. One way of doing this is to feature the work of contemporary Muslim women scholars focusing on diverse topics related to Muslim women.
