The Amal Center for Women is the only center offering FREE, CULTURALLY-SENSITIVE services and support to Montreal’s Muslim women and families.

Support our dedicated and passionate social worker team's salaries so we can continue to provide FREE, CULTURALLY-SENSITIVE services to Montreal’s Muslim women and families.
Keep our doors open, ensuring that we maintain a safe, welcoming space for Muslim women and families.
Keeping our center open means continuing to accept numerous client referrals from local organizations, and mosques, and continuing to support the heart of our communities, Muslim women and families. In a time when the rights, dignity and freedoms of Muslim women are threatened by the provincial government’s Islamophobic Bill 21, our center’s support services are more crucial than ever.
Our clients report having previously faced cultural stigmatization and racism in the form of inferior quality of care, stereotypes and insults when seeking support from other, non culturally-sensitive local service providers.
We've become well-known in Montreal thanks to our work supporting Muslim victims of conjugal violence. However, since our inception over 15 years ago, our interventions have expanded holistically to include:
These are life-saving services that help Montreal’s most vulnerable navigate not only complex systems that discriminate against them, but also their rights, lives and emotions.
We serve clients on a diverse number of issues, as diverse as our clients themselves. Our clients overwhelmingly report seeing significantly improved quality of life, improved self-confidence and a greater feeling of agency in their lives.
The needs of our clients are constantly expanding and evolving. Our 50k goal will allow our passionate and dedicated social work team to continue to fully serve and support the community's growing needs.
"Immigrating to Canada was exciting but difficult. My husband found a good job, but he was stressed and angry and abusive. I went to the local health centre to ask for marriage counselling, but the social worker was so insensitive, and made judgements based on my religion. She immediately threatened to take our kids away from both of us. I was so scared! I knew we needed help but I was afraid. Finally, I found Amal. They spoke my language, listened to me, and understood my values and culture. They gave me hope, for me and my family."
-C., former client
"My daughter, Shadya and I seemed constantly to be at each other’s throats. She, seemed out of control and I did not know how to get her to listen to me or get my message across. The atmosphere at home was tense and I did not know what to do about it. With Amal helping both Shadya and I, her behavior greatly improved and our joint effort had a positive impact on our relationship."
-L., former client
"I began to suffer from panic attacks, some of them paralyzing. The anxiety was consuming. I needed help and I knew it. With Amal by my side, I started to have better control over my anxiety. I started making friends and building a life for myself here. My quality of life has greatly improved and Montreal finally started to feel like a city where I can make a home for myself."
-F., former client, current volunteer
