The Muslim Women's Council of Victoria Inc. (previously known as the Islamic Girls & Women's Group Inc.) is a not-for-profit organisation founded in 1998. This is an organisation of Australian women working for Muslim women and the wider community. We work to overcome the challenges faced by Muslim women, living, working and integrating into the broader community in a way that honours their religious and cultural heritage. This also enriches the broader Australian community.
Read MoreOur purpose is to help improve the lives of not just Muslim women but members of marginalised communities including: new migrants, refugees, asylum seekers and international students. We do this through the provision of emergency food relief, education and social support.
Through our work we also aim to educate the wider community's understanding of Islam. We provide non-Muslims with opportunities to learn about the Muslim culture and participate in Muslim traditions. We work within a community development framework that fosters a connected, harmonious community, that values diversity.
The members of MWCV are responsible for implementing the mission statement and it is their role to build the membership of the organisation to a level where it is sustainable without external funding.
