Amal Women’s Association

The Amal Women’s Association (or Amal for short) is a Muslim women led organisation. We provide front line services to Muslim women, and women with a connection to the Muslim community nationwide.

Together we can make a difference

Muslim Women in Ireland face huge barriers to accessing the services they need when they are in crisis. Amal works to address this by supporting women in culturally appropriate ways to access the help they need, while educating service providers, so that they can have better lives for themselves and their community.

Vision

An Ireland where all women, particularly Muslim women, can access the services they need and fully participate in society, free from the threat of violence, from poverty, racism, discrimination and stigma.

Mission

To advance the human rights, health, safety, participation, and dignity of Muslim and non-Muslim women in Ireland.

Values

Based in human rights and social justice. We believe that women are powerfuland should live with dignity and respect. We believe that no woman should live with abuse of any kind or under threat of violence. We believe in the cultural and religious rights of womenand their families to access services that meet their needs. We believe that women can change the world.

Objectives

Improve outcomes for women and their families through services and self development and strengthen their position at home and in the community.
Provide safety for women and children in dangerous situations through provision of culturally appropriate emergency accommodation and refuge.
Represent our community through constructive dialogue and the development of strategic partnerships.
