A Repository for Muslim Advocacy against Women Abuse
We believe that collaboration and understanding between service providers and faith community is key to serving the best interests of Muslim families affected by abuse. These resources are built to promote destigmatization within the community as well as to inspire cultural sensitivity among the service providers. But most importantly, our goal is to ensure that each one of us can be a beam of support and healing to our sisters, mothers, and daughters.
