#MuslimWomenMakingUsProud Rashida Tlaib has become the very FIRST Muslim Woman elected into Congress! https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/08/us/politics/rashida-tlaib-congress-muslim.html
MWO was part of a historic moment in Orlando! Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer and the Orlando City Commissioners voted unanimously to adopt and pass the TRUST Act resolution and policy, making history as the FIRST city in the southeastern United States to introduce and pass such an effort. For the past eighteen months, as the TRUST Orlando Coalition- we worked tirelessly. The TRUST Act resolution and policy ensures undocumented immigrant residents in the City of Orlando will not be profiled or detained based on their citizenship status.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: The Muslim Women's Organization is excited to announce that we have appointed our FIRST Executive Director, Sadaf Fatima Saied! We are grateful for her esteemed acceptance in this position. We are proud of what she has accomplished for MWO in her role as President, and what she will achieve as our Executive Director! Congratulations are in order for the entire community, as this is a monumental step as we work to galvanize the Muslim women in our community. Fatima Sadaf Saied, known as just Sadaf to many in the community, is a native Floridian and daughter of Pakistani immigrants, was raised in Hialeah, Florida and graduated from the University of Miami with a bachelor's degree in Psychobiology. She first moved to Central Florida twenty years ago and is the mother of five. She is a former President, and a founding member, of the Muslim Women's Organization. She is passionate about nurturing a compassionate, inclusive, and pluralistic society and developing these qualities not only in women, but also in the girls that will be the leaders of tomorrow. Sadaf is on the Advisory Committee for the Orlando United Assistance Center which respond to the needs of those affected by the Pulse tragedy. She also serves on the Board of Directors of Eid Orlando.
The MWO is proud to be part of the Trust Orlando Coalition as we help mobilize to #KeepFamiliesTogether! We need you to come out and stand in solidarity with these children and their families.

MWO'S GENDER EQUITY & SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY INITIATIVE

The Muslim Women’s Organization (MWO) is proud to announce that we will be launching a Gender Equity and Social Responsibility Initiative. As an organization that often challenges the status quo to empower women, the MWO’s vision of establishing a world in which every Muslim woman has the opportunity to lead in the service of humanity can only be fulfilled if we equip all women with the tools needed to transform lives without fear of being discriminated against due to any divisive bigotry that exists in today’s society. 

This program is made possible by a grant from Contigo Fund, an initiative of Our Fund Foundation.
