Through our programs and services to the community, CMWI aims to foster sound emotional health, stability and personal development to achieve self-sufficiency and financial independence in order to assist the newcomers to Canada in their settlement period.
ABOUT US
CMWI is a not for profit organization that was founded in 2006. We work towards empowering women to become healthy and contributing members of the Canadian Society. This is done, by understanding and focusing on the unique needs of the women, be it newcomer women or long time residents.

The Canadian Muslim Women’s Institute (CMWI) Family Resource Center is considering a new emergency shelter in Winnipeg for newcomer women. The proposed shelter would offer women‑only, trauma‑informed, culturally safe housing with comprehensive support services.
We want to hear from the community about existing gaps, challenges, and possibilities. Your input will shape the project and help strengthen our funding proposals. All responses are anonymous unless you choose to provide contact information.
Please select the survey that best matches your viewpoint and share your thoughts. The surveys are linked on our Instagram profile OR for the extensive list, visit our Facebook profile.
