Muslim Women’s Council has opened a new office in Saltaire, marking a key milestone in its mission to empower women, foster community cohesion, and provide safe, inclusive spaces for dialogue and collaboration. The launch event welcomed community members, partners, and supporters to explore the new hub, meet the team, and learn about upcoming initiatives. CEO Bana Gora described the office as “a beacon for positive change,” with plans for expanded programmes, workshops, and a women’s cooperative café in the future.

“Walking away from Al-Aqsa, I felt like my heart was being shredded into pieces,” shared Bana, CEO of the Muslim Women’s Council. “We prayed Fajr on the hotel rooftop, under the open sky, not knowing if we would ever return again.”
