What an interesting presentation on Islamic Jurisprudence as a solution to end violence against children and protect families by Dr. Mohammed Abdel Fadeel of al-Azhar University at the #MiddleEastRegionalMeeting2019 in Amman, Jordan.

One of his inspirational quotes was, "We cannot distance ourselves from the umbrella of religion because it governs us. If followed effectively, religion has the power to end violence against women and children and restore development."

Faith leaders must show forth the power of peace building through sacred teachings and faith, they must have a greater involvement with children in their work as a solution to ending violence against children.
