Islam and Muslims have long been accused of mistreating women. Mistreatment and abuse of women, and wives in particular is condemned by Islam. Here are some stats to show how violence against women is not a Mulim-only problem.
Domestic Violence
Domestic Violence hurts as all, not just women. Three to four million women are beaten annually and every 15 seconds a woman is abused in her home. Nationally, domestic violence has become the number one cause of death among women.
One reaction may be, "that's a tragedy that doesn't effect Muslim families". But it does.
While research on the prevalence of family violence among Muslims is just beginning, Imams, community leaders and social workers across North America confirm that Muslim women, children and men are being affected by this devastating social problem.
