Furthermore, the report highlights considerations that could be useful in: 1) creating the conditions to soothe the Islamophobia-based violence against Muslim immigrant women in the ‘West’; and, 2) develop strategies and measures aiming to promote mutual understanding and acceptance of Muslim groups living in culturally diverse societies in the ‘West’.
