Muslim women in Canada — we want to hear from YOU!

The Canadian Council of Muslim Women (CCMW) is launching the Workplace Interventions on Sexual Harassment (WISH) Project to tackle the gendered issue of workplace harassment, which disproportionately affects newcomer and immigrant racialized women facing systemic barriers.

Research reveals that many Canadian Muslim women are unaware of their legal rights and available resources, while employers often lack the knowledge and tools to support employees effectively.

The WISH Project aims to enhance legal awareness, provide tailored resources for Muslim women, and equip small and medium-sized organizations and employers with the tools needed to create safer, more inclusive work environments.

This national initiative is supported by the Department of Justice Canada under the Justice Partnership and Innovation Program.

This survey is for Muslim women over the age of 18 years.

Canadian Council of Muslim Women

The story of the Canadian Council of Muslim Women (CCMW) begins in 1982 when a group of dynamic and devoted Muslim women from across the country congregated in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Led by the late founder of CCMW, Dr. Lila Fahlman, these women sought to mobilize their passion for social justice and faith in order to enrich their communities and work towards the common good of Canadian society.

This inaugural meeting led to the establishment of CCMW, a not-for-profit organization that works to provide equity, equality and empowerment for all Canadian Muslim women. For the past 30 years, its proud and accomplished roster of members have achieved and continue to achieve great milestones for Muslim women and Canada’s multicultural landscape. As a highly diverse organization, CCMW is firmly committed to the overarching vision of improving the status of Muslim women to remain true to their Islamic heritage and Canadian identity.
