Hi! My name is Ayah and I'm hard of hearing. I'm doing my honours research at University of New South Wales. I want to conduct interviews with deaf/hard of hearing women from a Muslim/ Lebanese background. This is a chance for Muslim women who are Deaf or Hard of hearing to share their experiences in a private interview. Your stories will help my research to raise awareness and break the negative stigma surrounding disabilities in Islam.I'm wondering do you know anyone who may be suitable and so I can interview? Or would you mind sharing my recruitment?I am looking to interview women who fit this description: • You are a female who is Deaf or Hearing Impaired• You are from a Lebanese-Muslim Background• You live in Sydney• You are over 18• You want to share your experiences about being Deaf or Hard of Hearing• You want to raise awareness of deafness and hearing loss in the wider Lebanese- Muslim communityI know its hard for deaf/hard of hearing women to come forward and expose a part of themselves that our community keeps hidden. But that's why I'm doing this research and I'm trying to create as much awareness as possible. If you would like more information or are interested in being part of the study please contact: Name:Hassna FarhatEmail:muslimdeafsydney@gmail.comPhone:0433854106 OR Name: Ayah WehbeMessage on me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SilentSigns/

My name is Ayah and I’m hard of hearing.
I’m doing my honours research at University of New South Wales.
I want to conduct interviews with deaf/hard of hearing women from a Muslim/ Lebanese background.
This is a chance for Muslim women who are Deaf or Hard of hearing to share their experiences in a private interview. Your stories will help my research to raise awareness and break the negative stigma surrounding disabilities in Islam.
I’m wondering do you know anyone who may be suitable and so I can interview? Or would you mind sharing my recruitment?
I am looking to interview women who fit this description:
• You are a female who is Deaf or Hearing Impaired
• You are from a Lebanese-Muslim Background
• You live in Sydney
• You are over 18
• You want to share your experiences about being Deaf or Hard of Hearing
• You want to raise awareness of deafness and hearing loss in the wider Lebanese- Muslim community
I know its hard for deaf/hard of hearing women to come forward and expose a part of themselves that our community keeps hidden. But that’s why I’m doing this research and I’m trying to create as much awareness as possible.
