ABOUT SISTERS DIALOGUE
Who We Are
Muslim* women and youth deserve support that honours their stories, cultures, and needs.
Sisters Dialogue was created to address the serious lack of culturally responsive, healing-centered support for Muslim women who have experienced harm. These harms are shaped by systemic oppression, misogyny, and Islamophobia, which often intersect to create conditions where gendered violence, legal insecurity, mental health distress, and social isolation/exclusion are compounded.
We are a grassroots, women-led nonprofit in Edmonton. Our work is grounded in care, trust, and cultural safety. Through mental health therapy, peer support, creative programming, and systems navigation, we offer safer spaces where Muslim women and youth can heal, grow, and build community.
At the heart of Sisters Dialogue is a commitment to listening, creating space, and ensuring that the women and youth we serve are supported to thrive on their own terms.
* We are not a faith based organization. We serve Muslim women and youth because they need safer, culturally grounded third spaces. Our work focuses on wellness, dignity, and belonging, not religious instruction.
What We Do

Our approach centers safety, dignity, and cultural belonging.
