Texas Muslim Womens Foundation
Our mission is to empower, promote and support all women and their families, with a special focus on North Texas. We are an equal opportunity provider. We engage all members of the community – women, men, seniors, families and youth – in our programs, which provide: social and family violence services that foster peace and well-being in the home through our Peace in the Home Services and Peaceful Oasis Shelter, the first shelter in Texas to address the unique needs of Muslim women; leadership skills development for Muslim youth to inspire the next generation to build a promising future for our society; educational programs for Muslim and non-Muslim community members to learn about topics essential to individual and community welfare; and interfaith outreach to create greater cultural understanding. We provide family law and immigration related services to victims of domestic violence.
