Rivers of Hope: A Toolkit on Islamophobic Violence by and for Muslim Women

26/04/2018

Rivers of Hope’s mission is to provide tools to support survivors of all forms of Islamophobic violence. They also engage schools and communities to educate other on Islamophobic violence and how to support survivors.  This Toolkit is based on Sidrah Ahmad’s Master’s Research Project at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) at the University of Toronto. For her research project, she interviewed 21 Muslim women survivors of Islamophobic violence. You’ll see quotes from these survivors throughout the Toolkit, but their names have been changed to protect their identities. You’ll also see poetry on Islamophobic violence written by Muslim women throughout. This Toolkit is here to provide inspiration, resources, and information to Muslim women facing Islamophobic violence and people who want to support them – English only.
