WHO DO WE SERVE?
At CAWA, we provide comprehensive support to all self-identifying Arab women—regardless of backgrounds or experiences. Our commitment ensures that resources are accessible to all in a welcoming environment where every woman feels empowered. Whether through educational programs or community events, we believe every Arab woman deserves equal access to support.
WHY DO WE DO THIS?
Newcomers face myriad challenges—language barriers, economic strains—and often feel isolated as they adapt while preserving their culture.
Female newcomers experience unique hurdles that require tailored programs addressing their specific needs. Research shows that social networks significantly empower newcomers—especially women—by preventing isolation. CAWA offers culturally sensitive programs designed with self-identifying Arab women’s experiences in mind.
