#FamiliesOnTheEdge
Previous survey rounds of #FamiliesOnTheEdge by @UNICEF and @UNFPA found that low-income families are disproportionately affected by COVID-19. Female-headed households and households headed by persons with disabilities reported the deepest negative impacts.
Unemployment among heads of participant households has fallen since December 2020 to 12%. However, the unemployment rate among female heads of households (HoH) stands at 16% - roughly three times higher than the national average. #FamiliesOnTheEdge Image

Is pre-marital sex a more urgent issue than child marriage?
It's true that abstinence prevents STDs and sex-related issues. If all these things come from sex, then we just get rid of the sex, right? However, it's not as simple as that.

People are bound to have sex someday. Some married couples aren't even educated about sex.
Abstinence being taught (as a moral behaviour) is absolutely okay. But saying that enforcing abstinence (through law) will solve all problems is false. There will always be people going around the law. Also, the more affected groups will probably be the lower-income citizens.

#PelajarBukanPengantin
#SchoolNotSpouse

Child marriage is still practised in some regions with support from its societies. Some parents encourage their sons to practise it, and may even allow girls into it to protect family honour or to reduce the burden of sustaining them.
1. Repeated and overlapping pregnancies and nursing periods before the girl’s body is fully developed may lead to a condition called nutritional depletion.
2. Maternal mortality rates are high among young mothers, as is the incidence of premature births and some other diseases that afflict the urinary tract and reproductive system of young mothers.

I wish we would stop indulging in the imagined nostalgia of "The Golden Age of Islam".

If those luminaries were alive today, they'd be considered deviant by your standards.

In fact, Al-Ghazali played role in the decline by saying that 'falsafa' was incompatible with Islam.
He did this because he believed the philosophies and scientific discoveries that were propagated by his counterparts were not Islamic.

He shut them down in "The Incoherence of Philosophers" in an attempt to steer civilisation back to Islam. He succeeded.
The "golden age" had nothing to do with the religion. Their achievements were not meant to propagate tenets of Islam.

A lot of people equated their achievements as Islamic, like we still do today, thus why Al-Ghazali came in to separate one from the other.

What is promoting zina? "You should have sex before marriage!"

What is NOT promoting zina? "We cannot dictate people's choices to have sex before/after marriage, but they should learn safe sex to avoid STDs, unwanted pregnancies, and coercion/manipulation."
I've been getting tweets like these saying that teaching safe sex is basically teaching "safe zina".

The main problem here is that one group focuses on the word "zina", while another is focused on the word "safe".

I understand that religion plays a huge role in the lives of Muslims so naturally they think enforcing abstinence is the way to tackle these issues.

Unfortunately, teaching/enforcing abstinence does not solve these problems. People will always find a way around it.

After Patriots Asia wrote an article about the liberal youth of Malaysia on Twitter, ISMA, GPS, and PEMBINA start popping up by the horde on this platform.

ISMA has created numerous subgroups on Facebook to help with virality of posts. They're bringing that to Twitter now.
Let me tell you about religious groups like ISMA: They don't care about Islam being a religion of peace, they care about Islam being a religion of power.

They're not here to invite people into religion, they're here to empower the fundamentalists that already exist.
The last thing you'd find is ISMA saying that God accepts and forgives, that Islam promotes harmonious living, that Muslims are supposed to be kind.

You'll find them condemning anyone who is not aligned with them and using the power of political religion to justify themselves.
