Riverdale Immigrant Women Centre (RIWC)'s new Islamophobia Support Line provides referral and counselling support for victims of religious, racial and culture-based violence.

It is not meant to be a replacement for the Police Service. In an emergency, please call 911.

Our Support Line is a FREE, confidential and independent supportive counselling service for women and youth who self-identify as Muslim and have experienced hate crime incidences and need someone to talk to.

.

What We Offer:

Short-term Crisis Counselling

Our team of Peer Counsellors have been trained by Gernstein Crisis Centre to provide short-term crisis counseling support for our callers.

Understanding Hate Crime

Our Peer Counsellors have been trained by SALCO and Toronto Police's Hate Crime Unit to provide our callers with more information on hate crime support services.

Referral Support

.

RIWC's Peer Counsellors also offer a range of wraparound support services to help Muslim women and youth with settlement, housing, anti-violence support and other relevant services.

Our Peer Counsellors are trained volunteers who will help our callers demystify the reporting process, connect Muslim women and youth with community resources, and offer a safe space to connect with others in the community who are here to help.

If you recently experienced a hate crime incident, and would like to speak to someone from our team, please call us at 416-613-8729 (Mon-Thurs, 10 am-4 pm) or you can email us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
