The 1st Muslim Women and Families’ Shelter in NYC
Who Are We
The Asiyah Women’s Center is an emergency center in New York City addressing the gap of appropriate residential services for the Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, South Asian (AMEMSA) and Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) populations. We are committed to building a safe community for BLANK.
Our Work
Since 2018, our shelter has assisted over 1000 women and families across the tri-state area. We provide temporary housing for victims of domestic violence and women facing eviction or homelessness. By connecting survivors to job opportunities, medical services, housing facilities, and legal assistance, we empower them to grow into strong, independent women
