Nos clientes ont témoigné avoir vécu des traitements racistes et stigmatisants en forme d’une infériorité dans la qualité de soin, des insultes et le stéréotypage lorsqu'elles avaient cherché du soutien auprès d'autres services locaux ou institutionnels. Elles cherchent des services sans-jugements et ouverts qui respectent leur valeurs et cultures!
Nous sommes bien connus à Montréal grâce à nos services soutenant les musulmanes victimes de violence conjugal. Cependant, pour répondre aux besoins de nos clientes, nos services ont connus une expansion incluant:
Ce sont des services qui sauvent des vies en aidant les personnes vulnérables de Montréal ainsi qu’en leur aidant à naviguer les systèmes complexes qui leur défavorise.
Nous servons des clientes avec des enjeux divers, aussi divers que les clientes elles-mêmes.
Nos clientes déclarent avoir une meilleure qualité de vie, une hausse d’estime de soi et un sentiment de contrôle par rapport à leur vie.
Les besoins de notre clientèle sont en constante évolution. Notre objectif de 20 000$ permettra à notre équipe de travailleuses sociales passionnée et dévouée de continuer à répondre pleinement aux besoins croissants de la communauté.
-C., ancienne cliente, bénévole actuelle
"Ma fille, Shadya et moi avions une mauvaise relation. Elle semblait hors de contrôle et je ne savais pas comment interagir avec elle et à faire passer mon message. L'atmosphère à la maison était tendue et je ne savais pas quoi faire. Avec l’aide du centre Amal, la relation entre Shadya et moi s’est considérablement améliorée et nos efforts communs ont eu un impact positif sur notre relation."
-L., ancienne cliente

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.
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. They seek, and deserve open-minded and judgement-free services that respectful of their values of cultures!
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 20k 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, current volunteer
"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
