Ramadan is a month of reflection, compassion, and collective responsibility. For CCMW, it is a time to continue to respond directly to the urgent needs of Muslim women in our communities.
This Ramadan, all proceeds raised by CCMW will support the CCMW Emergency Bursary Fund for Muslim women in Canada facing any form of gender-based violence.
Throughout the month, funds will be raised through community partnerships – including our Ramadan date initiative as well as national fundraisers, events, and individual and organizational donations.
The Emergency Bursary Fund provides immediate, compassionate financial support to Muslim women experiencing gender-based violence — often at moments of crisis, when other supports are unavailable or delayed.
Your donation helps women and their families access:
At its core, the Emergency Bursary Fund restores agency and dignity – allowing women to make independent, life-saving decisions when they need it most.
On Saturday March 7, 2026, the Canadian Council of Muslim Women hosted its Annual Ramadan Iftar at Naan Kabab.
Community members gathered to break their fast together over Afghan-inspired cuisine while sharing reflection and connection during Ramadan. A portion of the proceeds supported CCMW’s Emergency Bursary Fund for Muslim women in Canada facing gender-based violence.
Thank you for the incredible support for CCMW’s Ramadan date initiative. The Palestinian Medjool dates are now sold out for this Ramadan.
Through this initiative, when members used the code ‘CCMW’ at checkout, they supported:
Palestinian farmers and families through ethical, fair-trade partnerships
The CCMW Emergency Bursary Fund for Muslim women facing gender-based violence in Canada
