Two young women wearing hijabs stand side by side, smiling at the camera in front of a display case. The display contains informational posters, including one titled "Islamophobia Awareness Week" and another defining Islamophobia. The case also features framed artwork with intricate designs. The setting appears to be an academic or community space, with a focus on promoting awareness and education.

Members of the Brock Muslim Students' Association (MSA) installed an Islamophobia Awareness Week display in the James A. Gibson Library on Wednesday, Jan. 29 to bring attention to the National Day of Remembrance of the Québec City Mosque Attack and Action Against Islamophobia.
