Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

90% of individuals who engage in this arts project will report a positive change in their personal perception of Muslim women. 90% of individuals who engage in this arts project will leave knowing their Muslim neighbors better, which will lead to more favorable views of Muslims and reduce Islamophobia. This arts project takes on the issue of gendered Islamophobia, and our evaluation plan measures impact accordingly at the personal, group, and community level. Qualitative measures are obtained through anecdotal information quarterly during review of Reviving Sisterhood's strategic plan, while quantitative measures are collected on an ongoing basis through surveys and focus groups.

Measurable Outcome(s)

6 Sheroes said her story provided an opportunity for her family and friends to learn more about her job and better understand her work. 5 Sheroes said the Shero program encourages people to see women as full human beings, more than mothers or professionals. 4 Sheroes felt that the process of production and creation was positive and empowering and more!
