Our Mission
We aim to celebrate and elevate Muslim women, bringing Muslim and non- Muslim communities together, promote social inclusion and overcome barriers.
Muslim Women’s Arts Foundation and Festival will celebrate women’s contribution and roles they play in the diversity and the richness of Muslim heritage.
And just like in our sister company MACFEST (Muslim Arts and Culture Festival) we aim to engage people of all ages and denominations, including school, college and university students and local communities.
