Join us this Wednesday at our monthly "Let's talk" session where the topic is "Red flags in relationships and why we consistently ignore them.

With Muslim women becoming more independent, educated and self sufficient, the dynamics of relationships have been changing. This has lead to different standards and expectations of what is and is not accepted in a union. Today we wanted to discuss What are the red flags pertaining specifically to Muslim relationships? Why do we consistently ignore them? How can we be more aware of the pitfalls and avoid settling for less due to social pressures.

Let’s Talk sessions are safe spaces created to allow the discussion and debate of taboo issues in the Muslim community. These sessions have 3 parts to them - first is where we discuss and debate the chosen topic. The second part is where we look at what Islam specifically says about the issue - this is important to clear up any misconceptions or ideas that are often imposed by culture and not religion. The third and final part is where we discuss individual and communal solutions to issues brought up. This helps us have an objective approach to the problem and gives a sense of hope and change.
