The Meeting and Training Center of Muslim Women (BFmF) e.V. was founded in 1996 by Muslim women from various countries of origin. Within 25 years of activity, the empowerment initiative has developed into a large center for social and educational work for all people.

We stand for
- a coexistence of different peoples and religions
