Rivers Of Hope Details
MISSIONOur mission is to provide tools to support survivors of all forms of Islamophobic violence. We also engage schools and communities to educate other on Islamophobic violence and how to support survivors.VALUESWe have five main values guiding our work:1. Indigenous Solidarity. Islamophobia is linked to anti-Indigenous racism. We can only address Islamophobia by building solidarity with our Indigenous sisters and brothers.2. Anti-Racism. We recognize that Black Muslims face both anti-Black racism and Islamophobia. Rivers of Hope prioritizes the voices and needs of Black Muslims.3. Survivor-Centred. Our work is informed and led by Muslim women survivors of Islamophobic violence. We do not engage in blaming survivors for the violence they went through in any way.4. Inclusion. We support all survivors of Islamophobic violence, including LGBTQ+ Muslims, Muslims living with (dis)ability, and non-Muslims such as Sikhs who also may face Islamophobic violence.5. Community Accountability. We aim to be accountable to the community of survivors that we service, and are always open to constructive feedback on our work.
