Breaking the Taboo: Why a Calgary Therapist is Teaching Muslims to Talk about Sexual Health

Published in News

Sexual abuse, pornography, birth control — for many Muslim parents, the thought of discussing sensitive subjects such as these with their children makes them very uncomfortable.

But it shouldn’t, according to Sameera Qureshi, a Calgary-based occupational therapist. She recently held a workshop called “The Talk: How to Educate Your Children about Islamic Sexual Health” for the first time in Edmonton. The session was held in collaboration with Tarjuma, a local group that creates gatherings to facilitate the growth of community, Islamic literacy and emotional wellness.

Published in Stories

In response to the conversations emerging from opinion pieces we have published on the new Ontario Sex Ed curriculum, Muslim Link is starting a series of interviews with several members of North America’s Muslim communities on sexual education. We’ll be exploring the challenges Muslim Canadians, especially Muslim youth, are facing in relation to sexual health education and morality.

Sobia Faisal-Ali, a PhD researcher who conducted a survey of 403 North American Muslims between the ages of 17 to 35 exploring issues of sexual health education and experiences, shares her findings with us.

A Muslim Activist on Ontario's New Sex Ed Curriculum

Published in Stories

When Muslim Link published the opinion piece, A Muslim Principal on Ontario's New Sex Ed Curriculum by jeewan chanicka, we did not expect how popular the article would be. But clearly the subject of the revised health curriculum is on many Muslim parents’ minds and communities across Ontario are organizing parent’s forums on the topic, such as the one being organized by Abraar School on May 2nd. Muslim Link plans to cover these events in Ottawa.
