Currently, there is limited research focussing on Muslim women’s experiences and needs with relation to mental health and healthcare in an Australian context. In response to this identified gap, the Australian Muslim Women’s Centre for Human Rights sought to document and analyse community members’ understanding of mental health and mental health issues, including exacerbating factors and experiences, as well as behaviours and barriers related to help-seeking.

It has been a busy time of year for all of us here at the  Australian Muslim Women’s Centre for Human Rights and we are very pleased and incredibly proud to share our annual report for 2023.

A research report which explores racism and Islamophobia in Victorian Schools and provides recommendations on how systems and structures should be improved to promote change. This research was informed by the experiences of young people, and those working with young people in Victorian schools.

AMWCHR has gathered some helpful resources for Muslim communities on ways to seek support during international crisis.

With the rise of Islamophobia impacting our communities we urge anyone who has been subject to racism, discrimination or victimisation on the basis of religion, culture or nationality to report the incident immediately. In the case of an emergency, to report a crime in progress, or request immediate police attendance, call Triple Zero (000).
