Engaging Muslim Women in Civic and Social Change
The Canadian Council of Muslim Women (CCMW) was established in 1982 when a group of Muslim women from across Canada, atten- ding a conference Winnipeg, Mani- toba, observed that there was no voi- ce representing Muslim women on issues that affect their lives. CCMW is a national non-profit organization of believing women, committed to the equality, equity, and empower- ment of Muslim women. CCMW promotes Muslim women’s iden- tity in the Canadian context and encourages mutual understanding between Canadian Muslim women and women of other faiths.
