In 2009. the Asian & Pacific Islander Institute on Domestic Violence compiled and published a report on all of the Domestic Violence programs specifically designed for Muslims. The list included organizations that were outreach centers, educational and vocational centers, resource centers and more. The list only included fifteen domestic violence shelters. That means, that out of the 2,000 plus shelters that have been created since the 1970s, less than .75% of our nation’s domestic violence shelters are definitively equipped to provide Islamic faith-specific resources, and harassment in the non-specific shelters is not uncommon.

Because there isn't enough space. It is easier to educate and diversify than it is to start brand new programs from the ground up. Even when these shelters do open, they often have to turn people away for lack of space- people that have already traveled to multiple different shelters only to experience hate and harassment.
