Puberty in Islam | With Dr. Heba Abolaban

Puberty in Islam: A Mother-Daughter Workshop for Girls Ages 9 to 13 offers a welcoming space for girls to learn about growing up in Islam across faith and health, while equipping mothers to support and guide them. Presented by Tawasaw Institute and MCA Youth, the workshop combines guided learning with a shared mother-daughter activity.

Entry is free with RSVP on Ticket Tailor, and mothers are strongly encouraged to attend with their daughters. On-site babysitting is available for younger siblings and requires a separate babysitting ticket on the booking page.
