Media & Advocacy Waqf

About this waqf

Only 2% of Australia’s media professionals identify as Muslim, leading to underrepresentation and misrepresentation in public narratives.

Meanwhile, political engagement within the Muslim community remains limited due to systemic barriers.

This waqf funds media training, advocacy campaigns, and leadership programmes to amplify Muslim perspectives and encourage active civic participation.

Awqaf Australia’s investments in this space empower Muslims to shape their narratives and influence policy. The Fund supports aspiring Muslim media professionals and initiatives, helping our community claw back the narrative and the initiative when it comes to telling our story.
