Towards Violence Free Homes

The Coalition of Muslim Women has started a program designed for racialized women in other languages including those who are Muslim.  Towards a Violence Free Home. They train peer workers to have conversations with women in several different languages and cultures around family violence. It has opened up all sorts of important opportunities for each community.

One of the outcomes of these conversations was a local study of barriers to services for Muslim women and racialized women in Waterloo Region. These reports were released a couple of weeks ago and if you haven’t seen them yet, are a valuable resource to your organization.
