Belonging:
The Foundation for Muslim Youth Success
Identity and belonging : the key to overcome challenges for Muslim youth
Addressing the issue of identity and sense of non-belonging is vital in dealing with the other challenges that Muslim youth are facing. Having a strong sense of self and belonging is crucial for mental and psychological well-being, providing security, stability, and purpose. When young Muslims have a strong sense of their heritage, culture, and identity, they are better equipped to navigate and overcome the challenges they face such as discrimination and Islamophobia. A strong sense of identity and belonging can provide a foundation of self-worth and resilience, enabling young Muslims to better withstand negative influences and discrimination they may encounter.
By addressing this fundamental issue, we can empower Muslim youth to succeed and thrive despite the challenges they face.
