Testimonials

DV Survivors

“[Turning Point] is a great place, especially for women survivors of DV. It has given me a

lot of support and confidence. Whenever I get the chance, I join a support group. Not

because I have to, but whenever I participate, I get confidence, new energy, and hope” - Anonymous Survivor

“Going to Turning Point physically made me think in a different way. This [was] a 28

year old marriage that I left. It isn’t easy. I am happy to come across Turning Point. I felt

from the first day that this was not only a comfortable place, but there is hope for me and

my family. I am not out of line, [or] incorrect like my abuser told me. [My counselor]

said I am on the right track. It gave me the courage to leave. It’s on your terms and time,

[they] said. I got confidence”  - Fatima A Survivor 

“Mujhe bohot help karta. TPNY gave financial help and confidence. Hard time when my

husband abandoned me and I don’t know anything about this country. I really like

Turning Point.” - Anonymous Survivor 

Youth 

“I learned that there is strength in numbers. If you speak up against a bully, other people

will feel more comfortable speaking up too. The more people that speak up together, the

bigger the impact” - Edlyn A. ARISE Participant 

“I liked most being exposed to different careers and seeing Muslim women dominating

these types of careers was really inspiring. I gained a lot of growth through this M2M

experience, it helped me to be more confident in achieving my goals.” - Nusrat A. M2M

Participant 

“I loved seeing Muslim Women of diverse backgrounds talk about their careers. It made

me feel like there wasn’t a limit to my future, and that I could accomplish a lot more.” -
