Safeguarding/Empowering New Muslim Women

New Muslim women often face unique challenges as they embrace Islam—ranging from social isolation to identity struggles and lack of tailored support. This essential session focuses on how we, as a community, can safeguard and empower them through practical support, mentorship, and inclusive spaces. Hear from sisters working on the ground who are helping new Muslim women not only stay strong in their faith but thrive. Learn how to build trust, provide culturally sensitive care, and create environments where new Muslim women feel seen, supported, and confident in their Islamic journey.
