This August 15th, Make Your Iftar Fight Domestic Violence

About Turning Point:
Turning Point for Women and Families was founded in 2004 as the first non-profit organization in New York that addresses domestic violence in the Muslim community. We provide direct services to women, run a youth program for Muslim girls/young women and help raise awareness about the impact of domestic violence on Muslim women, children and families.

Comments

[Prashant]

I suppose Robina Niaz and her organization must be commended for their relief work. But to the extent that it is (yet another) instance of only relief work, it can only provide band-aid solutions to what is a ubiquitous crisis- namely the failure everywhere in the (Muslim and non-Muslim) world of the institution of heterosexual monogamous marriage. And such band-aid solutions will eventually only exacerbate domestic violence and suffering by rescuing and reinforcing the dominant model of marriage in the world today.
As Ruth Vanita observes, Muslim societies contain traditions with which to break with this failed model of marriage and conjugality because they recognize polygamy. All that remains to be done is to universalize the custom of khula, include polyandry and generally ensure that all the partners in a marriage have legal equality. This will make Sharia provisions on marriage among the most progressive in the world, co-opt the theoretical and political sophistication of the best Feminist and Queer activism and radically modify marriage so that women's organizations like Turning Point won't just be rescuing wives and children from husbands and fathers but enabling them all to enter into (and leave as they please) kinder and richer marriages.

work banishes those three great evils: boredom, vice, and poverty.Do you think so?

Lying disguises our mortality, our inadequacies, our fears and anxieties, our loneliness in the midst of the crowd. We yearn for the comfort of familiar lies to create a more amenable reality. What do you think?

Bad excuses are worse than none.

I do have a questions... It all seems right and there is value in all said, however... We are running a non profit organization in South Africa where each staff member is actually a volunteer as they need to raise their own support. None are given a salary and therefore it is difficult to get staff willing to work under these conditions.
