The initials SMWA stand for Southwark Muslim Women's Association but don't let that put you off if your'e male! Although SMWA was originally formed to provide a safe environment for Muslim Women, that was thirty years ago, and we've come a long way since then. Boys and men are very welcome to use the centre, although women are still our main focus.
