Domestic Violence Survivors
The Domestic Harmony Foundation (DHF) is a community-based, non-profit organization created in response to the social, emotional, and psychological needs of a growing South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Muslim community in Long Island. Although DHF works mainly with Muslim women who are victims of domestic violence, these services are available to individuals irrespective of creed, culture, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation.
We provide culturally sensitive services in English, Urdu, Arabic, Farsi, Hindi, Bengali, Punjabi, Gujarati, Malyalam and Pashto.
What is Domestic Violence?
A pattern of behavior in any relationship that is used to obtain or keep control over an intimate partner is known as domestic abuse or “domestic violence”. Abuse can take the form of threats or acts that are physical, sexual, emotional, financial, or psychological and are intended to influence another person. This covers any actions that terrify, threaten, manipulate, cause pain or embarrassment, or injure or wound someone.
If you have questions about your relationship, need emotional support, fleeing crisis plan, counseling or just want to talk to someone call our confidential helpline 516-385-8292
