[November 25] is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, marking the launch of the UNiTE campaign - an initiative involving 16 days of activism concluding with International Human Rights Day on December 10.

The campaign aims to prevent and eliminate violence against women and girls around the world, calling for global action to increase awareness, promote advocacy and create opportunities for discussion on challenges and solutions.

This year’s IDEVAW theme is UNITE! Activism to End Violence against Women & Girls.

Violence against women and girls is a global public health problem of pandemic proportions. One in three women and girls experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime and about once a week, a woman is killed by her male partner in Canada.

This year, CCMW launched a Gender-Based Violence project that aims to develop a systemic change strategy and tools to address barriers Muslim women face in dealing with GBV, as well as provide services coordination for Muslim women facing GBV.

In addition, we launched a multilingual social media public awareness campaign titled, #EndGBV#HealTogether to raise awareness about gender-based violence while also introducing our GBV project.

Please take a moment over the next 16 days to share our campaign using the #EndGBV #HealTogether hashtags along with the official hashtags for International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women - #IDEVAW #16days and #16Daysofactivism

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.
