Next are workplaces, schools and universities, and domestic spaces. \u201cThe street is the most dangerous place for women,\u201d pointed out researcher Francirosy Campos Barbosa, who coordinated a study.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_321434\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-321434\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-321434 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/edit-semianrio.islamofobia-300x126.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"126\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/edit-semianrio.islamofobia-300x126.png 300w, https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/edit-semianrio.islamofobia-1024x429.png 1024w, https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/edit-semianrio.islamofobia-768x322.png 768w, https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/edit-semianrio.islamofobia.png 1160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-321434\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Researchers presented the result of a year of study<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The research work was developed over a year and resulted in over 100 pages of study.

So the work of these researchers helped me not to be in contact with this violence all the time. Because that\u2019s what Islamophobia is all about, violence,\u201d Barbosa pointed out.<\/p>\n<p><em>Read also:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/world-campaign-encourages-use-of-hijab\/\">World campaign encourages use of hijab <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/teenager-releases-book-of-anti-islamophobia-accounts\/\">Teenager releases book of anti-islamophobia accounts <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The study heard people born into <strong>Islam<\/strong> and <strong>reverts<\/strong>, a term for those who were not born to Muslim families but later adopted the religion. The group of reverts faces some challenges of its own, according to the study. \u201cThere is a distancing from the circle of friends and family for the reverted women, mainly due to the changes in food and clothing,\u201d said Paiva.<\/p>\n<p>Among reverted men, however, Islamophobia happens mainly in the workplace. \u201cOf those reverted, 54% have already suffered embarrassment,\u201d pointed out Carlos.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to reports on physical spaces, researcher Felipe Freitas de Souza recalled even online Islamophobia needs to have its effects studied. \u201cOn social networks, there is the issue of aggressors being anonymous. There are also publications reactive to Muslims. There are responses, but there are also spontaneous attacks generally arising from what we identify as a trigger effect, a local or international event that triggers online reactions. The case of 9\/11 is one of them,\u201d said Souza.<\/p>\n<p>The research coordinator highlights the importance of decolonizing the view of the Muslim religion. \u201cHow much Islamic aspects were and are colonized,\u201d she said. \u201cAnother important fact is the issue of the media. It is pointed out as the one that can and does end up generating Islamophobia because it often does not speak with the researchers themselves or those who understand that reality,\u201d concluded Barbosa.<\/p>\n<p>The presentation of the 1st Report on Islamophobia in Brazil took place online and is part of the Graduate Program in Psychology of the Department of Psychology of the Faculty of Philosophy, Sciences, and Languages of Ribeir\u00e3o Preto (FFCLRP) of the University of S\u00e3o Paulo (USP) and the Anthropology in Islamic and Arab Contexts Group (GRACIAS).
