Our Organization
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.
Our Mission
DHF is a
community-based organization committed to promoting peace, safety, and
harmony in families by providing support and guidance. DHF aims to fill
the immense void in concrete services for South Asian, Middle Eastern,
and Muslim women and children who are seeking relief from domestic
violence and other human rights violations. DHF also works towards
addressing and raising awareness of domestic abuse and violations of
human rights in the communities and areas we serve. 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.
