ABOUT SISTERS DIALOgUE
Who We Are
Sisters Dialogue is a grassroots group of Muslim women based in Amiskwacîwâskahikan, Treaty 6 (Edmonton). We came together in February 2021 to support the safety and well-being of Muslim women after a series of Islamophobic attacks, many targeting Black Muslim women in our city.
Our goal was to create culturally safer spaces and supports through an approach that is intersectional, collaborative, and responsive to community needs. Over time, our work has expanded to include programming for Muslim youth, who now make up over 40% of those accessing our mental health supports.
We are guided by lived experience and community input. Our approach is trauma-informed and community-led, with a focus on care, trust, and cultural relevance. We build relationships, listen closely, and adapt our programs as needs shift.
