Ramadan Project
Through the period of Ramadan, we at Mojatu worked towards supplying those in need with warm meals. With the help of our wonderful volunteers we were able to deliver hot meals, fruit and other supplies, every Friday straight to their door. These food deliveries consisted of hot meals, fruits, dates and bottles of water. The hot meals were a mix of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian including, lamb jollof, chicken biryani and a selection of rice dishes.
Here at Mojatu we want to thank everyone involved, your support is very much appreciated.

These communities being the BAME, elderly and disabled communities. here at Mojatu we made a collection of videos, getting the point of view from these different communities, explaining what loneliness means to them and how different factors can have an impact on that area of their mental health.

Article: Domestic Abuse in LGBT Relationships (Saida Barbar)
Whilst domestic abuse can happen to anyone, there is a lack of public awareness and research into domestic abuse in LGBT relationships. A reported 22% of people female same sex and 29% of people male same sex relationships have experienced some form of abuse. Studies have found that incidences of domestic violence in LGBT relationships is comparable and, in some countries, reported to be higher than in heterosexual relationships. If this is the case, why is only 3% of the research into domestic violence focused on LGBT couples?

Article: Sexual Violence – The Case of Mason Greenwood
Mason Greenwood, a twenty-year-old footballer for Manchester United was arrested on suspicion of rape, sexual assault, and threats to kill after his former girlfriend, Harriet Robson, leaked videos and pictures of him on social media supposedly perpetuating these acts. This is not completely unusual in the professional football community, as there are numerous other examples of players being accused, arrested, and even convicted of different forms of sexual violence. These all highlight the persistent problem that remains in our society – domestic violence against women.
