Malikah

Based in New York City, Malikah is a global collective of women committed to building safety and power for themselves and their communities. Through the D-DAN collaboration, Malikah will be conducting educational workshops on data disaggregation within Southwest Asian and North African (SWANA) communities, empower community members to become advocates for data disaggregation and communicate to different audiences to push for change, and host storytelling workshops where SWANA community members can share their personal experiences and the unique challenges they face. By sharing their stories, participants can illustrate the real-world impact of data disaggregation and build a compelling case for its implementation.

Following the passage of Legislation S6584C/A6219B, Malikah will continue its advocacy efforts for the Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) community in New York City, with a focus on data disaggregation. To support the successful implementation of the bill, Malikah will host a series of panels, educational videos, a NY MENA strategy retreat, create a survey and facilitate workshops aimed at building community capacity and developing strategic approaches.
