Скачать или смотреть Domestic Violence Shelter for Abused Muslim Women in the San Francisco Bay Area: The NISA Home

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.

Learn about the resources available to help our loved ones and how we can support our local organizations addressing this issue.

This talk is sponsored by San Ramon Valley Islamic Center, The Rahmah Foundation, North American Islamic Shelter for the Abused (NISA) & MCC East Bay.

It’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and let’s remember that Islam enjoins kindness and mercy and forbids oppression.

Domestic violence happens everywhere all the time and affects everyone. Women are the principal victims. Help us bring awareness.

During this Family Night and the four MCC Jumu’ah services, MCC will invite various local Bay Area DV organizations to have a table alongside NISA. Our Khutbahs will also focus on raising awareness of domestic violence.

This Friday family night was delivered at the Muslim Community Center - East Bay (MCC East Bay) in Pleasanton, California on Friday, October 4, 2024.
