Our Khanqah Mosque had put forward 2 representatives who took part and one of the them went through to win in the doubles tournament! It was an amazing event and also had the ex Lord Mayor Afzal Khan presenting the medals and trophies.



FORCED MARRIAGES

On 5th March a ladies Meeting took place at the mosque regarding a somewhat controversial topic ‘Forced Marriages’. There was a very good local turnout and Councillor Yasmin Dar also gave an inspirational talk . The talk tackled issues with young girls getting forced into marriages and the taboo of talking openly about this. There was a special guest, Sameem Ali who was forced to marry aged 13. She gave a horrifying account of her experiences and talked openly of her ordeal. It was a truly an inspirational speech, she said “I want to inspire women to have a voice, whatever they are going through, it was many years before I raised my voice.”

The meeting proved to be very successful and informative and everybody went home with a greater knowledge of the topic.
