Shaykh Omar Subedar (Imam, Islamic Society of Peel - Jame Makki Masjid, Brampton; Instructor at the Mathabah Foundation) has signed the White Ribbon Pledge to: never commit, condone or remain silent about violence against women and girls.

 Oppression and abuse at any level is unacceptable – spiritually, socially and morally. Allah has announced in a Hadith al-Qudsi, “My servants, I have prohibited oppression upon myself and I have deemed it prohibited amongst you, therefore do not oppress one another (…).” (Sahih Muslim). Women are the backbone of society. Abusing them is to ultimately destabilize society. Care for them just as the Prophet Muhammad, peace be on him, taught us to care for them.
