How it all began…
We identified a lack of safe spaces for women to discuss stigmatised topics that directly affected our community.
In 2018, Hawaa Empowerment was born from a dream of creating a sanctuary where women from all walks of life could find safety, compassion, and a sense of belonging. Our journey began with humble yet impactful beginnings—hosting discussion circles, workshops, and social events that fostered connection and empowerment.
Today, we are proud to have evolved into a space that goes beyond community-building by facilitating access to healthcare-related topics. With our unwavering commitment to supporting women's well-being, we continue to create pathways to knowledge, resilience, and empowerment. Guided by Islamic values, we aim to uplift women from all backgrounds.
As we look to the future, we are filled with hope and excitement, committed to serving our community in meaningful ways. With faith as our foundation and compassion as our compass, we strive to educate, uplift, and empower.
Core Concepts
-
Physical health
Physical health encompasses many topics ranging from sexual health, chronic conditions, gynaecological conditions, pre and post natal health amongst many others. We recognise the importance of tackling these issues through education which in turn can empower those affected. At Hawaa Empowerment we discuss, dissect and provide solutions to these problems all within a safe space curated by professionals in the field.
-
Mental health
Mental health is a taboo issue in many communities. Mental health is also heavily intertwined with many societal problems such as domestic abuse, sexual abuse, poverty and much more. At Hawaa Empowerment we address these problems and advise on practical solutions.
-
Community wellbeing
Having a community is an essential part of the human experience. We firmly believe that individual healing is linked to societal healing.
We nourish this sense of community through our social events alongside our educational events. Creating sustainable change is monumental in the work that we do. This includes advocating for the minorities, the oppressed and the silenced.
