SBS Examines: Para sa maraming Muslim na babae sa Australia, hindi maiiwasan ang Islamophobia

“We're talking about thousands and thousands of incidents ... for many Muslim females who wear the headscarf, they feel that an incident of Islamophobia is what it means to be a Muslim here in Australia."

Napansin ni Dr. Nora Amath, Executive Director ng Islamophobia Register, ang “malaking pagtaas” ng mga insidente ng Islamophobia pagkatapos ng mga pag-atake noong Oktubre 7, 2023.

Aniya, ang mga babae at batang babae ang madalas na naging target, na bumubuo sa humigit-kumulang 75 per cent ng mga biktima.

It is a gendered issue.

Sinabi ni Dr. Amath na ang mga pangyayaring geopolitical ay maaaring magsilbing dahilan para sa pagtaas ng Islamophobia sa Australia, ngunit hindi lamang ito ang tanging sanhi.

“Political rhetoric is very important to whether we see a rise or a decrease in incidents reported to us.”

Sa episode na ito ng Understanding Hate, tinatalakay natin ang Islamophobia sa Australia kasalukuyan.
