Women’s Health Conference
The Conference is aiming to address issues regarding the health and well-being of women. Out of everything that makes a woman a woman, the most important is her physiology. The unique gifts associated with being a woman, regardless of whether they are socialized or biological, include being strong enough to bear children, stable enough to balance a dozen roles at once, and nurturing enough to build a strong, healthy community.

I’ve been volunteering with ANNISAA since the end of 2016. I instantly felt welcomed by the staff and community members. Although I’m giving back to the community through volunteering, I really think by volunteering at Sistering, the community is giving so much more back to me. It’s been such an amazing and enjoyable experience that I wish more people could share it. ~ MAH NOOR
It meaned a lot to me to be a part of this, to be essentially improving people’s lives. If you want to volunteer, I’d say it’s really not a big time commitment and you can really make a big difference to somebody’s life. One of the benefits that I got out of it is seeing a change in our younger volunteers. To see somebody be more comfortable with who they are around other people is a really positive experience for me. ~ SOUMIA
