The Australian Federation of Islamic Councils (AFIC) is proud to stand united with an international coalition of prominent Muslim organisations and peak bodies on an issue of mutual importance to us all.

AFIC is a proud signatory to a jointly issued release which calls on governments and well-minded people everywhere to do more to combat the scourge of Islamophobia.

15 March is the International Day to Combat Islamophobia, and coincides with the horrific Christchurch massacre, which marked an ugly new phase in international Islamophobia.

The joint release can be downloaded in full by clicking above, and can also be read below.

AFIC, established in 1964, stands as the Peak Muslim Organisation in Australia, with 170 members including 9 State and Territory Councils. It has a rich history of pioneering numerous community services and actively advocating for the rights and representation of the Muslim community.
