Sometimes the danger isn’t a stranger in a dark alley.
Most of the time it’s the person who knows her routines, her fears, her dreams. The one who promised love but instead became the reason she’s afraid to go home.
On any given night in Canada, 3,491 women and their 2,724 children sleep in shelters because it isn’t safe at home. Statistic Canada.
Too many women are living in fear in unsafe homes, too scared to take the next step.
This Ramadan, you can help them escape the danger and find the support they need to rebuild their lives.
Your Zakat and Sadaqah can be a lifeline, bringing safety, healing, and hope to a woman and her children.

Ifrah lived in constant fear. Her husband locked her in a room with her young children, beat her, and controlled every part of her life. She was trapped, isolated, and terrified for her own safety—and for the lives of her children.
One day, she saw an online ad for Nisa Foundation. When her husband left the house, she made the call. For the first time in years, someone listened. Her caseworker began checking in every other day, helping her create a safety plan and connecting her to resources that could protect her and her children. Slowly, Ifrah began to feel that she wasn’t completely alone.
Nisa Foundation was there at every step—securing emergency housing far from her abuser, enrolling her children in daycare, and helping her take the first steps toward rebuilding her life. Within two months, Ifrah and her children had a safe home—and the chance to begin again.
