Cultural Association of Muslim Women in Switzerland
Founded in 1992, the ACFMS is a non-profit organization that strives for a better knowledge and understanding of Islam and Muslims as well as for responsible and positive integration. Muslim women have always had the possibility of expressing themselves and being active members of society. This right bestowed upon us by our religion is the origin of the ACFMS’s creation. The association exits in order to promote Muslim women’s activities in Switzerland. To develop our abilities, keep ourselves informed, receive training and to come together and encourage dialogue in the fellowship and respect for all.
ACFMS strives to meet the cultural, religious, educational and humanitarian needs of women in Switzerland. It provides the Swiss and Europeans with a better knowledge and understanding of Islam and of Muslim men and women. It contributes to an individual and collective awareness-raising of the need for responsible and positive integration, and this in order to participate actively in the economic and social development of Switzerland. Our goals are primarily to reunite Muslim women, combine our efforts and work towards a common objective to broaden and develop the cultural exchange between Muslims and non-Muslims, within the scope of friendship and mutual respect.

Main activities

• Annual meeting: of Muslim women in Switzerland and dialogue between "Muslim and Christian women"
• Annual summer camp for young girls
• Training seminars and think-tank groups, worship support during the month of Ramadan, conferences, sports and outings, occasional activities (celebrations, weddings, etc. )

Islamic Center of Lausanne

For over twenty years, the Islamic Center in Lausanne has served as a sort of stopping place for men and women from around the world. A place of prayer and teaching, the center also organizes weddings and funeral services for the community, or even visits to prison inmates. Run mainly on a volunteer basis with over one hundred active and financially committed members, the center does not receive funding from the state of Vaud, nor financial assistance from Muslim countries. Essentially devoted to teaching the Koran, the Center plays an important social and integrating role for many Muslims.

League of Muslims in Switzerland

The League of Muslims in Switzerland was created in 1994 to combine the efforts of Muslims, with a goal to be of service to Muslims in their religion and to encourage them to strive for a responsible and positive integration within Swiss society. The League deems that Muslims in Switzerland wish to uphold the protection contract with the federal authorities of this country and considers that all the conditions that govern the entry and residence in Switzerland do not require Muslims to abandon their faith and their culture. The League’s objective is to care for members of the Muslim community so that they may preserve their identity and personality in order to accomplish their role as citizens and participate in the collective effort to find adequate solutions to the problems of Muslims in Switzerland.
The League considers the recognition of the Islamic religion as the second largest official religious community in the country as beneficial for the entire Muslim community, since it will enable them to feel respected and taken into account and to better assume their responsibilities as citizens.

Mosque and Islamic Cultural Foundation of Geneva

Inaugurated in 1978 by King Kahled Bin Abdulaziz and the President of Switzerland, the Geneva Mosque is but one among many others, all different in size and architectural style. Within the Islamic Cultural Foundation, you can find:

• a conference hall for holding lectures on the Islamic religion, culture, sciences, etc.,
• a library where books on various subjects pertaining to Islam are available to readers (in Arabic, French and English)
• a school for teaching the Koran, the Arabic language and Islamic studies
• an Arabic language lab for non-Arabic-speaking adults
• cafeteria
• morgue for ritual funeral preparation.

The Mosque assures several essential functions on a permanent basis:

• worship of the sole God, Creator of all that is visible and invisible
• cultural, social and humanitarian link
• vital role of educating, informing, accommodating, advising, dialoguing, etc.
