NISA deeply rergets the tragic death of Khalil Wimes , 6 years old from Philadelphia and Abdifatah 10 years old from Buffalo , New York . Both boys were ,in the name of disciplne, savagely beaten and abused by their parents and consequently died of their injuries . Once again people close to the case knew there was abuse going on but opted to sit on the fence and let the abuse progressed to fatal ends rather than taking a stand and report abuse . We at NISA remain dedicated to the cause of educating community about domestic violence and promoting domestic harmony . As part of our educational and preventive programs we regularly organized workshops and forum on family issues ranging from proper raising and disciplining of kids to coping with stress and many other relevant topics . we urge community to make an effort to attend these events of NISA in our fight against domestic violence . Together with the help of Almighy Allah we will be able to restore the balance of harmony in families and prevent such tragedies to happen.

OBJECTIVES Rooted in Islamic values, NISA strives to create a more just community in which people of all cultures and beliefs can participate. Our primary goal is to reduce the incidents of domestic violence and achieve domestic harmony among families through collaborative efforts with the community and other established organizations. NISA provides services to all who seek assistance regardless of race, religion or gender. HISTORY The statistics show that domestic violence is on rise among the Muslim communities in North America. There is a dire need for the establishment of social welfare organizations, who can help and understand the plight of Muslims trapped in DV situations. NISA was created, in October 2002, to play a positive role in elimination of this social condition within Muslim families. |
