Equality
without
Exception
We are an organisation of Muslim women, working alongside Muslim women to amplify voices and shift systems to create lasting change.
The Australian Muslim Women’s Centre for Human Rights (AMWCHR) supports Muslim women through culturally safe services, advocacy, education and community connection. We work to strengthen safety, wellbeing, inclusion and opportunity while advocating for more equitable and informed communities.
We recognise the strength, diversity and agency of Muslim women, and the complex realities they navigate. Our work is grounded in a social justice approach and informed by rights-based and trauma-informed practice, addressing inequality at both community and systemic levels.
We stand alongside individuals, communities and institutions to challenge attitudes, influence systems and drive meaningful change.
We provide practical, culturally safe support for women navigating complex challenges, including family violence, wellbeing, social connection and access to services.

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).
