TW: Sexual Violence, Gender-Based Violence, Poverty, Abuse, Spiritual, Economic, Physical, Psychological, and Sexual Abuse, Systems of Violence.
Hi Everyone :)
This week I have Zena on from Sakeenah Homes - A Muslim women's shelter in Canada.
We discuss:
- Why we need Muslim women's shelters
- Ways to make shelter's more inclusive for Muslim women
- How to continue and maintain the connection folks have to their communities - which people feel they may lose because of how taboo these topics are
- How to identify safe people to disclose to/ how to indicate you are a safe person
- Patriarchal interpretations of the Quran
- Tips on recognizing cultures of abuse
- How to put Islam into the safety, healing, and change process
It is essentially a continuum of the #MuslimMeToo Movement, but please do not feel you need to listen to it, if you are not in a space to do so, or feel that you have to share you story to people.
