About Women's Islamic Initiative in Spirituality and Equality
The Women’s Islamic Initiative in Spirituality and Equality (WISE) is a New York Muslim women’s non- profit organization. WISE is an independent 501 C-3 which operates as a partner project of the Fund for the City of New York.
Since 2006, Women’s Islamic Initiative in Spirituality and Equality (WISE) has convened hundreds of Muslim women leaders from around the globe to build their capacity as leaders, equipping them with knowledge of Muslim Women’s rights and enabling them to use their personal power to elevate the status of Muslim women and girls around the globe.
WISE delivers its programs through support from family foundations, and institutional and individual donors.
WISE was established with the belief that the fight for Muslim women’s equality starts with fostering, collaborating and supporting the diverse work of Muslim women leaders worldwide.
WISE envision a world in which Muslim women leaders are instrumental in creating a peaceful and prosperous world anchored in gender equality and human dignity.
WISE promotes Muslim women leaders who are on the frontlines advocating for women’s rights, religious pluralism and peacebuilding. We offer creative solutions to persistent societal issues by amplifying women’s voices at all levels of political, economic, religious, and social discourse.
