Mosques as Community Centers - Breaking the Gender Divide

The youth groups consist of teenagers. Not much options for older people. Religious events/lectures at most mosques are pretty gender segregated in most parts of the US, can’t speak for other countries. Monk making an announcement doesn’t make people feel comfortable. If you notice, the imams will usually say it for guys, but women don’t feel comfortable with the imam announcing out loud “Ahem, there is a v-o-man in the guurrls section, you cannot see her haha jokes on you, BUT she is 28 and mA she goes to the local university here, and she has brown hair, and wearing green kameez, maybe you catch her after prayer, thank-you brothers”.

PCG imam does more things then making announcements on loud-speaker.

"hazrat eek zaroori aelaan suneey… Ek Monk jo ky larki dhoondh rahay… "

Thing is many people go to imam for same reason, girls their families, people who are involved in mosque.
