Although Muslim women make up half the community members, they are not as well informed or involved in the issues affecting their communities. Through the annual Empowering Women Conference, AMAC seeks to bring Muslim women of all backgrounds across Tennessee together to learn about the issues affecting their communities and how to become actively involved in solving those issues. AMAC creates the space for women to discuss topics not normally covered at Islamic Centers and become more civically engaged.
