Ustadha Maryam Amir urges the Muslim community to take a stand against domestic violence.
Domestic violence happens everywhere all the time and affects everyone. Women are the principal victims. Ustadha Maryam brings awareness.
She encourages the Muslim community to break the silence and empower women in the Muslim community so they are not forced to stay in marriages in which they are abused.
