Break the Bias: Domestic Violence in the Muslim Community

Let’s talk about the biases we have as a Muslim community around violence against women & domestic violence this International Women’s Day. We’ve been posting and talking about the responses women and Nisa Homes receive like “Nisa Homes breaks up families” or “it’s a test, be patient” or “it’s better for the kids for you to stay”. Where do these biases come from? How can we address them? And what can we do to overcome them individually and communally?⁠
