Welcome! Your backing and support are important to assisting the Islamic Women’s Council of New Zealand to empower Muslim women, to promote understanding and inclusivity in New Zealand and to build a more respectful society.

Celebrating Muslim women is essential in countering gendered Islamophobia, and so is, highlighting their contributions to society.
Here are some suggestions on how you can do so:
• Share the profiles of the inspiring Muslim women in this campaign.
• Host events like panel discussions, workshops, and festivals and include Muslim women to share their talents.
• Highlight the creative side of Muslims (i.e. their art, photography, poetry and much more)
• Remember Muslim women at award nomination time and  support their work in different fields.
• Encourage Muslim women to share their stories through blogs, videos, and podcasts.
• Set up mentorship programs where successful Muslim women can guide others and vice versa .
• Work with schools, businesses, and organisations to show and include the skills of their diverse staff.
• Feature positive Muslim women’s stories in publications and media.
