About Muslim Women For

Muslim Women For envisions a future where Islam is understood as a source of dignity, justice, compassion and love for all humanity and the world. We hope to foster and nurture vibrant Muslim societies that work to create positive social change and uplift their communities through political education, leadership development, relationship building, women of color empowerment, grassroots organizing, and, more recently, Getting Out The Vote (GOTV) for the 2020 election. Founded in 2016, Muslim Women For was started by three driven, African immigrant women who saw the need for a channel for Muslim women to implement the social justice and community service teachings of their faith. These three women recognized that Muslim women and women of color like themselves often experience spaces (both Muslim and non-Muslim) that are dominantly led by cis men, where they are often sexualized, devalued, and silenced. In this moment, the vision of Muslim Women For was born. Inspired by the history, work, and resilience of Black, Brown, Muslim, and indigenous women, they decided to create their own space- a space of learning, love, healing, and sisterhood. Muslim Women For is a 501(c)(3) organization, and as such, does not endorse any candidates, representatives, political parties in any of our activities.
