This 28-month project will develop and implement a systemic change strategy and tools to address barriers Muslim women face to target the root causes of gender-based violence. Canadian Council of Muslim Women (CCMW) will achieve this by hiring a project team, establishing an Advisory Committee, as well as developing a guide to conduct systemic reviews of policies and practices from an intersectional Muslim women’s lens, and policies and practices of a sample of relevant organizations with a view to helping them remove barriers and fill gaps in the GBV sector to meet the needs of Canadian Muslim women and girls.

The project will pilot a program to coordinate services and supports for Muslim women building on the model for CCMW's Legal Services Coordination Pilot Program (LSCPP).

Centering voices from the Muslim communities, service providers, and people with lived experiences, the project will assess their needs through focus groups, a community survey, a community forum, and a literature review.
