Dear Audrey and team Majlis, Your prompt response is really commendable. In solidarity.

It is really reassuring to be able to point to organisations like Majlis with complete confidence in what they do and how they do it. Thank you Majlis friends!

Dear Majlis Members, It was a very refreshing to reach about your persistence in following up on the mandatory reporting clause of POCSO to achieve justice for the victim. You deserve a salute for your efforts!

Dear Majlis team, Thank you for this excellent brief summary of what the law on Muslim women’s maintenance rights actually is. It is this kind of information that is missing in the public, partly because ‘activists’ have been complaining about the bad treatment of Muslim women, when in fact even Islamic law itself contains very clear ethical and moral guidelines to the effect that a man cannot just push his wife onto the street if he gets tired of her. I have admired your work for a long time, keep it up.

To the fantastic team at Majlis, I read with a deep sense of anguish and yet hope, of the work you have been engaged in. I am sure that to every Salma that goes through an unending series of emotional and physical trauma followed by a ray of hope, there are a few hundreds who are not as lucky to have a Majlis backing them. Needless to say, we at Project Mumbai are here to offer as much support as is possible in this journey of faith that you have undertaken.

Dear Majlis Team Members, I have been receiving your emails regularly.  I write this note to express my appreciation for the work you  are doing.  A special appreciation for what you have done for Rubina – and what you will do for others in a similar predicament.  God bless you all.

Majlis doesn’t turn anyone away, it was apparent that the victims and their families find a safe refugee in the organisation knowing that there are people they could rely upon to provide them with the needed support along with the required information and not keep them in the dark regarding the proceedings and practicalities. The work gave me a moment to experience how to assess and provide what the clients require.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to you for giving me this incredible opportunity to intern with Majlis, this was truly the best internship in 5 years of my law school.I will forever cherish my learnings and experiences that I took away from each and every person at Majlis.

I admire the bottom up work structure of Majlis contributing to a healthy work environment. The thing that will stay with me the most will be the personal connections between the team and the integration of interns in the workplace, the way interns are included in all the functions and events during the course of their internship. I admire the work that majlis does and will be grateful to have been part of it.

I absolutely love the work environment. I love everyone’s passion for the cause, and I especially love that it felt like such a safe space. I loved that I was given the opportunity to speak to clients directly, since that allowed me to hear their lived experiences from themselves, and I really appreciate how the entire procedure from first response till litigation and even thereafter is entirely dedicated to make the victims into survivors.
