ABOUT WOMEN WHO INSPIRE AWARDS:

CCMW hosts an annual event, the Women Who Inspire Awards, which brings together Canadian Muslim women of diverse backgrounds to celebrate those who have achieved excellence in sports, business, education, arts, community service and leadership. This initiative was launched in 2007 to recognize Canadian Muslim women who have made a difference in the lives of other people in Canada and/or abroad.

This year's theme, "Women’s Leadership: Unleashing our Power with Empathy and Purpose," focuses on the incredible impact that Muslim women can have when they lead with compassion, empathy, and a clear sense of purpose.
