This program deserves your attention because for the first time in Surrey, it creates and holds space for Pakistani women, Punjabi women, South Asian women and Women of Color, as it helps us shed some myths about Muslim women. Also, it is a prototype that’ll be videographed to be screened in other places in BC and Canada, in Europe and USA. View our goals and objectives:
