The Sisters Project combats negative stereotypes of Muslim women by showcasing the diverse stories of women across Canada, while also creating a space of inclusion and belonging for all self-identifying Muslim women to embrace and celebrate their unique identities
Created by Alia Youssef
The Sisters Project is a photography series that celebrates and shares the stories of Muslim women from across Canada. The project is photographed by Alia Youssef and began in December 2016. Since then, Alia has photographed and interviewed over 160 women from 12 cities and 8 provinces – combatting the one-dimensional image and stereotypes imposed on Muslim women and creating a space for connection and sisterhood within the community and outside of it.
