Beyond Stigma: Muslim women’s views and experiences on mental health is the fourth report of the Muslim Women’s Council’s Think Tank programme.
This study examines the experiences and views of 50 Muslim women from Bradford aged between 20 and 67 on mental health issues. The Think Tank community research teams identified this as an under-researched topic, needing urgent attention based on their lived experience of attitudes and perceptions of mental health.
The Muslim women included in the study were asked a range of questions about the impact of stigmatisation on their lives. Many women were forthcoming in speaking of their mental health issues, and 4 in 10 stated they are users of mental health services.
