MANADV Houston Statement
PFP is excited to introduce the Muslim Advocacy Network Against Domestic Violence |
What is the Muslim Advocacy Network Against Domestic Violence (MANADV)?
MANADV is a national network comprised of predominantly Muslim advocates addressing domestic violence in Muslim communities through diverse faith-based and mainstream approaches and agencies.
What is the aim of MANADV?
The aim is to bring together a national network of advocates, service providers, legal and health care professionals, activists, researchers, scholars, and community based organizations to strengthen culturally appropriate advocacy, encourage dialogue and collaboration, develop models and analyses, and disseminate resources.
Why was MANADV established?
The network was formed with the understanding that, though many communities have organized to provide services for Muslim survivors, there is an urgent need to diminish the isolation many advocates experience, and to build a national network where advocates share resources, exchange information, build alliances, and strategize about intervention and prevention. The network is a coordinated effort to empower survivors, deepen advocacy, strengthen families, and organize communities.
The network is a collaborative endeavor consisting of a working group led by the Peaceful Families Project (PFP) and the Asian Pacific Institute on Gender-Based Violence (API Institute). Combining their expertise in technical assistance, community outreach, training, resource development, research, and technology, PFP and API-GBV provide the infrastructure and support to facilitate the Muslim Advocacy Network’s goals.

WEBINAR | Celebrating 30 years of the Global 16 Days Campaign to End Gender-Based Violence: A Reflection on the Journey and the Future hosted by The United Nations Population Fund
The United Nations Population Fund is celebrating 30 years of the Global 16 Days Campaign to End Gender-Based Violence: A Reflection on the Journey and the Future!
The Global 16 Days Campaign was initiated 30 years ago by the Center for Women's Global Leadership to galvanize women and allies worldwide to raise awareness about violence against women and demand that governments do their part to end it. Since then, more than 6,000 organizations and other entities, including governments, have used this campaign in over 180 countries to break the silence about many different forms of GBV and demand public action. UNFPA has been a leading voice against GBV and is aiming for its eradication by 2030. The COVID-19 pandemic has created a surge in GBV which UNFPA estimates will lead to a one-third reduction in progress to reach the goal of zero GBV within the next decade. Register for their celebration of the 30 years of the campaign!

Report 2, which will be released in late summer 2021, focuses on Islamic approaches in understanding Islam, perspectives of mosque leaders on American society, mosque activities, and women in the mosque. Both reports are authored by Dr. Ihsan Bagby and jointly published by Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), Center on Muslim Philanthropy, and the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding (ISPU).

U.S. Ends Trump Policy Limiting Asylum for Gang and Domestic Violence Survivors Article by The New York Times
President Joe Biden recently overturned a policy enacted by the Trump administration that discounted domestic violence as a reason to seek asylum. While asylum seeking laws in the U.S. still have a long way to go, this is a step that will drastically change the lives for many survivors of domestic abuse. We applaud this important step in creating an environment that protects vulnerable and underserved populations globally from such abuse. During his presidency, the Trump administration stated that domestic and gang violence were generally not grounds for asylum. This negatively impacted several survivors, particularly in Central America, who were attempting to seek asylum in the U.S. Mr. Biden has given the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security until October to restore protections for victims of domestic and gang violence.
