Domestic violence is a phenomenon that plagues homes of all faiths, races and ethnicities. In the United States, one in four women falls victim to domestic violence. However, men are victim of domestic violence too. It is a societal crisis that thrives on silence and shame. Ignoring domestic abuse is not acceptable.

It is our pledge to ensure that information on prevention and intervention is available to you and your loved ones. We seek to raise awareness and provide resources on domestic violence in an effort to bring peace and dignity to our homes. We are committed to support victims of domestic violence.

Join us in our effort. We ask you to pledge to take a stand against domestic violence.

If you are a victim of domestic violence, please contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233), or find a local Muslim support group in the Get Help tab above.
