Sargoshiyan - CASSA's Anti-Islamophobia Initiative |
Sargoshian is part of a new anti-Islamophobia initiative at Council of Agencies Serving South Asians (CASSA). “Sargoshian” means “Whispers” in Urdu, and it describes how instances of Islamophobia and racism can be found everywhere – on television, at school, and under the breath of our co-workers – yet are not openly discussed. We hope your agency can help support this initiative.
The purpose of Sargoshian is to create a resource for South Asian Muslims residing in Scarborough and Markham, and to facilitate discussion around Islamophobia and racism through a community forum and multi-generational meeting to be held in Scarborough in December 2009.
