This Ramadan, Protect her life, her voice and our future
71% of women can’t access mental health support due to financial barriers1
Nisa Helpline is more than just a service, it’s a lifeline for our sisters in need.
Did you know, people are nearly 3 times less likely to disclose a mental illness than a physical one like cancer2.
The cultural barriers and lack of trust in public health care are key factors in the underutilization of mental health services3. Women in our community are silently bearing the weight of their challenges until it leads to a crisis and one cannot handle it any longer.
This is why it’s important to sustain Nisa Helpline’s frontline services. It offers immediate, confidential, real-time support for women to discuss their struggles and concerns in a safe space and receive culturally-sensitive guidance in navigating challenges.
This Ramadan, donate to ensure our helpline becomes a vital bridge in fostering a supportive environment, so every voice is heard and supported.
Ibn Umar reported: The Prophet ﷺ said, “The most beloved people to Allah are those who are most beneficial to the people. The most beloved deed to Allah is to make a Muslim happy, or to remove one of his troubles.”
