  Join CK Local Immigration Partnership and Living Chatham-Kent for the Anti-Islamophobia 101 Virtual Workshop from the Canadian Council of Muslim Women (CCMW).

  
  

  This workshop seeks to address the realities of Islamophobia and the way it operates within Canadian society. The workshop will help participants critically examine the impacts of Islamophobia on the lives of Muslim people living in Canada and how it further marginalizes Black and Indigenous Muslims, queer Muslims, and Muslims with disabilities. Participants will learn how to be active allies to counter Islamophobia.

  
  

  By the end of the workshop, participants will gain:

  • A deeper understanding of Islamophobia and its systemic effects.

  • Insights into gendered Islamophobia and its impact on Muslim women.

  • Awareness of intersectional identities within the Muslim community.

  • Tools and strategies for collective action against racism and Islamophobia

  
  

  Please Note: Discussions about harassment and/or discrimination can bring up strong feelings. We encourage participants to actively contribute to a brave space by being respectful, attentive, and open minded during these discussions. And, to actively engage in self-care or to seek support as needed during and after the workshop. If you require support, the Chatham-Kent Victim’s Services, Ontario Human Rights Commission, Canadian Mental Health Association Lambton-Kent can be of assistance.
