The Women-CONNECT Project

Being socially connected means sharing common bonds, having feelings of closeness, and being socially involved, cared for and accepted by others. We wanted to understand Muslim women’s social connectedness in older age. We asked Muslim women to share photographs and stories that speak to their social connections. Muslim women participated in photography lessons and group story circles hosted at local mosques. A final exhibit of women’s stories and photographs will be shared with the wider community.
