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.
