The recent hate motivated incident in Halifax targeting Muslim women has been heartbreaking and deeply disturbing.

At YWCA Halifax, we believe every person deserves to live free from hate, discrimination, and violence. Everyone should feel safe, respected, and a true sense of belonging in the communities they call home.

To those who are hurting, feeling afraid, or wondering if they belong: you are not alone. We see you. We stand with you. We remain committed to building communities where everyone can live with dignity, safety, and respect.
