The progress
The Foundation has established a working group to protect
women and children in the Muslim community. Together with the Islamic
Committee of Tak Province, this working group acts as a consultant and
provides assistance to women in the Muslim community who suffer from
domestic violence. They act in accordance with Islamic principles and
hold meetings regularly. In order to better support victims and plan for
collaborative protection mechanisms, they hold discussions about the
ambiguous interpretation of Islam in a friendly atmosphere. In 2018,
there is a case of domestic violence brought into consultation at the
meeting of the working group. In total, 17 cases of women and 565
women from community have the opportunity to talk and exchange
ideas on matters that have never spoken to anyone before, such as the
rights of women, about family relationships and violence.
The Working Group has introduced suggestions from discussions
to formulate guidelines to protect women in the community. The Foundation
works with the Working Group on Protection of Women and Children,
Islamic Community. This is an attempt by local civil society organizations
to initiate the creation of a work area and enhance the potential and
agency of women in the community which will lead to protection for
women who continue to protect the rights of women.
