WHO WE ARE

The Ottawa Muslim Women’s Organization was established on September 30, 2001, shortly after the September 11 attacks when the Muslim community was reeling with shock. About 50 dedicated ladies from diverse origins decided to form an organization with the objective of Building Bridges with people of all faith groups and the community at large as well as addressing misconceptions about Islam and the negative image and status of Muslim women. The OMWO is committed to working together to establish mutual respect, acceptance, understanding of all cultures, traditions, faiths and religions. The OMWO reaches out to fellow Muslims and with all other Muslim organizations in Ottawa and Canada with the purpose of the common good of all. OMWO membership has expanded to include people, men and women, from various faith groups.
