The Union Organizes a Lecture in Istanbul on the Challenges of
Globalization and Its Serious Impact on the Western Family
The
International Union of Muslim Scholars, in coordination between the Family
Committee and the Youth Committee, and in cooperation with the Arabic Language
Institute at Al-Sharif Endowment in Istanbul, organized a distinguished lecture
addressing the "Challenges of Globalization Facing the Family in the
West," held on Wednesday, June 18, 2025.
The
lecture was delivered by Dr. Kamelia Hilmi Toulon, Chairwoman of the Union’s
Family Committee, targeting a group of male and female students from France as
part of an educational program offered by Al-Sharif Endowment for students of
knowledge from Western countries.
The
lecture focused on the most prominent risks confronting the family in Western
societies, such as the spread of uncontrolled freedoms in relationships and the
decline in the importance of legitimate (lawful) relationships. This, in turn,
places a heavy burden on parents to preserve family values and protect their
children from being influenced by prevailing moral and educational problems.
The
lecture also addressed a controversial international treaty, the "Istanbul
Convention," issued by the Council of Europe in 2011. The treaty enforces
absolute equality between men and women in family and social roles, which
contradicts human nature based on diversity and complementarity between the
sexes. Additionally, the lecture highlighted the recognition of the full
equality of LGBTQ+ rights, which has contributed to the spread of phenomena
contrary to family values in the West.
The
lecture emphasized the necessity for the family to restore its educational role
and to raise societal awareness about the dangers posed by such international
agreements that threaten family values and ethics.
The
session concluded with an open discussion focusing on the family’s role in
protecting children, during which a set of proposals was reached to suit
Western societies in preserving the family unit and strengthening its bonds.
