Hafsa Madar is an avid reader, a lover of kale smoothies and an active member in her community. When she isn't reading and sipping on smoothies she spends her time volunteering in hospitals, the Boys and Girls club as well as the Islamic Family Social Services Association of Edmonton. She was the recipient of the 2014 Rotary scholarship and served as a youth representative on the Primary Care Network team. During her time on the team she discussed the mental health issues revolving the youth in her community. Hafsa is passionate about empowering women, especially Muslim women in lending a powerful and purposeful voice within their communities.
She hopes to pursue a career in health care, and her dream is to work with the United Nations to promote health care in developing countries; primarily with women and children.
Hafsa Madar represented the riding of Edmonton-Mill Woods, Alberta at Equal Voice’s Daughters of the Vote gathering in March, which brought together 338 young women between the ages of 18 and 23, representing each Canadian riding. Muslim Link had the opportunity to interview several of the young Muslim Canadian women who were selected to participate in this historic event, including Hafsa.
