OUR MISSION is to support and promote the spiritual, intellectual, and socio-political development of women, and to foster more dynamic participation in civil society. Our programs and initiatives are designed to:

  • increase knowledge of our way of life - which includes the elimination of social, cultural and religious stereotypes through critical analysis and scholarly debate;
  • eliminate ingrained and insidious practices that devalue Muslim women globally;
  • mediate conflict through education, dialogue, and Islamic principles of conflict resolution;
  • monitor and influence programs and policies of United Nations bodies such that Muslim women's lives are enhanced;
  • build bridges of understanding across cultural boundaries in the interest of global social justice;
  • cultivate Islamic scholarship & leadership among Muslim women and our youth;
  • provide a speakers bureau of professional & social activist Muslim women; and
  • highlight significant scholarly works through symposia and other public forums.
