Intimate partner violence in the Australian Muslim community: from research to intervention
Ms Nada Ibrahim

Access to Lectures | Speaker

Intimate partner violence research though cross-disciplinary in nature and committed to preventing and ending IPV worldwide, has lacked plausible applicable research within the Muslim community despite their growing presence. Various barriers exist that hinder access of services by Muslims across Australia. Existing IPV prevention and intervention strategies are skewed towards the mainstream culture which fails to address faith, family unit, and the value system of Muslims. Further, is the exploitation of Qur’anic verses and traditions of the Prophet Muhammad by many Muslims to justify inherited ‘cultural’ practices of IPV. Despite the shared values and beliefs among Muslims, very little research has been conducted to identify ethnic differences in attitudes towards IPV among Muslim subgroups.
