ABOUT SISTERS DIALOGUE
Who We Are
Safer spaces for Muslim women and youth in Edmonton and surrounding areas
Sisters Dialogue (SD) started in 2021 because Muslim women in Edmonton kept running into services that didn’t understand their lives. Many had experienced violence or discrimination and had nowhere to turn that felt safe.
SD is a grassroots, women-led nonprofit. We offer culturally responsive, healing-centred support to women and youth from over 30 cultural and ethnic groups: therapy, peer support, creative programs, and help navigating systems. You don’t have to explain yourself first.
SD is a faith-informed organization. We serve Muslim women and youth because they need culturally grounded spaces where they feel safe. We don’t offer religious instruction.
What We Do
Our programs are culturally responsive and shaped by the lived experiences of Muslim women and youth. Many are open to everyone. Some are women-only or Muslim women-only, so people feel safe enough to speak openly.
