Black Muslimah Shining is a CCMW initiative that celebrates the achievements, leadership, and impact of Black Muslim women across Canada, amplifying their voices and stories through community-centred programming.
Thank you to all who joined us this Black History Month for the Black Muslimah Networking Social & Market! A two-part, in-person event featuring an intentional networking social and a community vendor market.
The ASPIRE National ‘I Belong, You Belong’, Employment Conference brought together community leaders, researchers, policymakers, employers, and advocates to address the systemic employment barriers facing Muslim and racialized women in Canada.
Hosted by the Canadian Council of Muslim Women in partnership with the Diversity Institute, the conference featured 40+ expert facilitators including keynote speakers and workshop facilitators. We also unveiled the ASPIRE Toolkits and Workshop Modules, offering actionable resources informed by the ASPIRE Study.
Over two powerful days of learning, connection, and action, more than 140 attendees came together to advance equity, belonging, and transformative change.
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.
Conversations around hate and Islamophobia continue to be extremely important. With increased community requests and CCMW’s commitment to anti-racism and anti-Islamophobia work, we are continuing to offer Anti-Islamophobia 101 and Countering Cyberhate 101 workshops.
