There’s an important conversation about sexual harassment and
assault happening across the United States. Things are no different
for American Muslims. This fall, at least two major Muslim figures
have been accused of abuse of power against women — the response
has shown how difficult it can be for women to speak openly about
abuse, and that many communities have a long way to go when it
comes to supporting victims and survivors. So, we talk to
BuzzFeed’s Hannah Allam about her reporting on Nouman Ali Khan and
the women who are calling him out. Then, we have a frank
conversation with Elamin Abdelmahmoud about how men can take on a
bigger share of the work of fighting back against abuse.
