FATIMA Women’s Network is an independent, strategic and diverse organisation, using dynamic interventions for gender equity, social, economic and environmental justice.

FATIMA Women's Network is dedicated to bringing about positive change in the lives of women and in particular, women and families from diverse communities and disadvantaged backgrounds.

FATIMA Women's Network is an online resource designed to:

• Represent the needs of ALL women, though in particular women from diverse and disadvantaged communities
  
• Facilitate cross community networking
  
• Deliver training and employment services
  
• Undertake, encourage and promote research and better understanding of women's issues
  
• Support and encourage inter-racial and inter-faith harmony in learning and working environments

As an infrastructure organisation, funded by Improving Reach, we are working to develop the BME Women's Sector in the region through:

• Effective Partnerships
• Increased Participation and Engagement
• Customised Networking
• Improving its sustainability for example using cross sector consortia to tender for contracts.

Our regional work is informed by our advocacy role at the national and international level especially with regard to Muslim and Migrant women.

A key aspect of our work is developing a leadership program working with a variety of training providers including the Army.
