SISTERHOOD INITIATIVE
Building communities
one conversation at a time.
Sisterhood Initiative gives a voice to thousands of young women in Sri Lanka, creating safe spaces for dialogue, advocacy, and leadership.
Building Communities One Conversation at a Time
Sisterhood Initiative is a safe space, dedicated to understanding issues by Muslim women across Sri Lanka. We empower young women by creating safe spaces to have conversations about gender equality, human rights, and social justice.
Recognize Sri Lankan Muslim Women as Important Stakeholders
To achieve this, we work towards creating safe spaces for Muslim young women and girls in Sri Lanka to come together to share experiences, engage in curated discussions and find a sense of community among each other.
