About this service
Muslim Women's Network UK works nationally to advance social justice and equality for Muslim women and girls who are from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds such as Arab, Bangladeshi, Black African / Caribbean, Indian, Pakistani, White etc. We improve the quality of their lives by helping to keep them safe (from all forms of abuse) and empowering them to exercise their rights, choices, and voices. The primary way we help women and girls is through our culturally sensitive multilingual helpline service, which includes in depth support via case workers (including an IDVA).
The helpline is a national specialist faith and culturally sensitive service that is confidential and non-judgmental, which offers information, support, guidance and referrals. The helpline also acts as an interface or conduit between the victims and other specialists that can also provide support.
Although, our service users are primarily Muslim women and girls, we also provide support to men (5% of callers) and to women of other faiths and no faith (e.g. 4%). We provide help on about 43 issues. Two thirds of our service users contact us about different forms of abuse such as domestic abuse, honour-based abuse, forced marriage, sexual abuse, sexual harassment, stalking and revenge porn. Most callers also contact us about more than one issue. Half of callers also want help for their mental health such as for anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, self harm, suicidal thoughts and loneliness. For these callers we are able to make internal referrals to our counselling service or to try and identify local services in their areas.
