Our Sisters Deserve Better.
Dear Community,
Our sisters deserve our attention and deserve a space where they feel love,heard and safe. Here at Muslimah against the abuse Center we’re creating the services I wish I had during my healing journey. Our Mission is to be a non profit organization that strives to empower and educate girls women of color to overcome their past trauma and live successful lives. Muslimah against abuse center envisions a world, where women can live with dignity, safety and fear without harm.
Last summer as many may know, the East African community had seen an enormous amount of women and girls speaking about their experiences with sexual assault and harrassment, sparking our own #Metoo movement. Many sisters came out with stories of abuse. These sisters all wished their community had resources for them. Muslimah against abuse aims to be just that.
Our staff, leadership, and board currently reflect the communities we serve and support. Our board members are all BIPOC members of the community who are passionate about the cause of our organization. Our leadership is headed by Muslim women who are survivors of domestic violence and are passionate about making the change in our communities. Our staff also consists of committed individuals of color from our community who believe in our mission/vision. Women of color do amount to the majority of our staff, board, and leadership.
Sincerly,
Rahma Rashid,
Executive Director & Founder
Muslimahs Against Abuse Center
