Behind the veil
Sue, one of our dedicated Domestic Abuse Refuge Advocates talks about a recent experience with one of her clients ...
Behind the veil is a woman, a woman who has the most beautiful smile
I support all women suffering domestic abuse.
Recently, I took a woman who wears a Niqab to the local area and I noticed how many people were staring at her, looking quizzed. I felt for this woman as no one smiled at her or even wanted to make eye contact, basically avoiding her.
This woman wears her Niqab because its part of who she is, part of her heritage and culture – behind the veil is a woman, a woman who has the most beautiful smile, a woman that laughs and has a great sense of humour, a woman who is gentle and cares for her children, a woman that has a heart and soul -please do not judge her.
