Who we are:
The Asiyah Women’s Center is the first Muslim women’s emergency shelter in New York City. Since we've opened we've sheltered over 175 women and children. Our mission is to provide temporary housing for victims of domestic violence and women facing eviction, and/or homelessness. By connecting under-resourced women in our community to job opportunities, a range of mental health and medical services, permanent housing facilities, health insurance and legal assistance, we hope to empower women to get back on their feet and overcome their deeply traumatic personal circumstances.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said “Your Heaven lies under the feet of your Mother” (Ahmad, Nasai).

2. Counseling and therapy services
3. Checkups provided by physicians and licensed mental health professionals
4. Employment assistance
5. Fully stocked pantry of food and toiletries
6. Connecting students with university opportunities, GED’s, and enrolling students in schools
