On this International Women’s Day, we pause to honour the unwavering strength, resilience, and courage of women across the world—especially those who face adversity, hardship, and injustice. It is a day of reflection, recognition, and most importantly, action.
At Nisa Foundation, our mission has always been to uplift, support, and empower women, ensuring that every woman in our community has access to safety, healing, and hope. The work we do is driven by the fundamental belief that every woman deserves to live with dignity and security, free from oppression and fear. Through our shelters, helpline, counseling services, and community programs, we have stood alongside thousands of women and children, offering them not just assistance, but a path toward rebuilding their lives and thriving.
International Women’s Day is more than just a celebration—it is a call to action. A call to continue advocating for justice, amplifying women’s voices, and fostering a world where no woman suffers in silence. Change does not happen overnight, but every effort, every voice, and every act of solidarity brings us closer to a world where women can live free from fear and oppression.
If you’re wondering how, you can be part of the change, here are three impactful ways to take action today and every day:
Knowledge is power. Take the time to learn about the challenges women face locally and globally. Read about gender-based violence, workplace inequality, and the barriers to education and healthcare for women. By understanding these issues, you can become a more informed advocate for women’s rights.
At Nisa Foundation we rely on dedicated volunteers to support our programs. Whether it’s helping with community outreach, picking up and sorting through donations or providing professional skills and workshops for our clients, your time and effort can make a real difference. You can sign up here to become a volunteer and make an impact in your community today!
Advocate for policies that promote gender equity and ensure that your workplace is a safe and supportive environment for women. Speak up against discrimination, support women in leadership, and encourage an inclusive culture where every woman’s voice is heard and valued.
Whether through your support, your advocacy, or your prayers, you are an integral part of this mission. Together, we can create lasting change and ensure that every woman has the opportunity to thrive.
May Allah (SWT) bless the women in our lives, strengthen those facing hardship, and guide us all in our collective responsibility to uplift one another.
With gratitude and duas,
