Mosque & Property Security
Strengthening the safety and resilience of mosques, schools, community spaces, and homes.
Why This Matters
Muslim spaces are increasingly being targeted, yet existing security support is often slow, uneven, or inadequate. This workstream focuses on both systemic reform and practical preparedness — pressing for improvements to national security schemes while equipping community leaders with the tools they need to act responsibly and confidently.
