On Friday, Oct. 4, during our Friday Family Night, Imam Tahir Anwar gave a powerful talk on the unspoken topic of forbidding domestic oppression.
October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This month, and always, we affirm that we will break the silence and empower women in the Muslim community so they are not forced to stay in marriages in which they are abused.
We invited various local Bay Area DV organizations to table with us this Friday, including NARIKA, Asian Women Shelter, and NISA, to share resources available to help our loved ones.
