About this Event
Muslimahs at City Hall & Transit4Women
Empower. Connect. Advocate.
Join us for Muslimahs at City Hall & Transit4Women, a transformative one-day event designed to inspire young women (ages 18-29) to take charge, lead change, and make their voices heard. Hosted at Toronto City Hall, this event is a unique opportunity to explore civic engagement, learn advocacy skills, and address pressing issues like transit safety and inclusivity.
Through engaging panels with city leaders, interactive workshops with grassroots organizations, and creative activities, you’ll gain the tools and confidence to shape your community for the better. Whether you’re passionate about women’s rights, safer public spaces, or building a stronger Toronto, this is your chance to meet like-minded peers, learn from inspiring mentors, and take actionable steps toward creating change.
