Webinar: Introduction to the Muslim Population with Regards to Domestic Violence

This presentation will cover fundamental beliefs and regulations in Islam that relate to gender, marriage, divorce, and domestic violence to dispel some of the myths related to the belief that Islam promotes the oppression of women and encourages abuse, using actual text to insure authenticity. A better understanding of these tenets will allow DV providers to more authentically engage with Muslim victims as they use their faith tradition for healing as well as reduce misunderstandings that may arise when Muslims seek services from mainstream DV service providers.
