Muslim Women's Civic Empowerment
Empowering older, often erased and marginalized immigrant Muslim women through skill-building, civic education, and leadership development across New York City.
Empowering Women, Strengthening Communities
The Muslim Women's Civic Empowerment Program aims to empower older, often erased, marginalized Muslim women through empowerment, know your rights, and civic engagement workshops.
The program is rooted in the belief that Muslim women are powerful, individually and collectively. We believe that by providing them with civic education and leadership development, we can enhance the ways in which they can positively contribute to their communities and society at large.
Program Components
MWCEP provides a holistic approach to empowerment through four key program areas designed to build skills, awareness, and community.
