Women Support
At Muslim Harmony Trust, we understand the unique challenges faced by women in our community and are committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment where they can overcome challenges and achieve their personal and professional goals. Our mission is to promote the well-being, growth, and empowerment of Muslim women through a range of religious and support services, including education, empowerment, health, and addressing domestic violence. We provide resources, counseling, religious guidance, community events, workshops, and seminars that address issues such as self-care, financial independence, and women’s rights in Islam, to ensure that every woman has the opportunity to live a safe, healthy, and fulfilling life.
