The Canadian Muslim Women’s Institute (CMWI) organized a poignant and crucial event: the Family Violence Awareness Session. 

This gathering was pivotal in raising awareness about an issue affecting countless lives in Winnipeg.

In the heart of Winnipeg, Healthy Muslim Families is making waves by providing essential services to newcomers and residents, particularly Muslim women, in a culturally relevant and sensitive manner.

Founded by Humaira Jaleel, the organization has a clear mission: to strengthen and empower families through services, workshops, and support that align with Islamic values.

“Since my first day in Canada, I have been working on Ukrainian News. As a Ukrainian-speaking journalist, I focused on stories related to the Ukrainian community in Manitoba. The more I live in Canada, the more I face current civic concerns and issues the more I want to find solutions to these problems. That’s how the idea for “Community Hour” came about.

I’m delighted to have lots of exciting people in our studio. I love listening to their stories and experiences and getting the answers to our community’s civic questions.”
