A forum in Melbourne heard from Muslim citizens who are targets of increasing anti-Islamic sentiments.
Nasrin Amin, a mother of three who is originally from Bangladesh, but has been in Australia since 1991 said that she was attacked twice around that time and admitted she was “shaken inside” and lived in fear.
Ms Amin organized the awareness forum in part because of her personal experience, and because of the stories she heard of other Muslim women who have been attacked.
Melbourne’s Muslim community is increasingly concerned about anti-Islamic sentiment.
