LETTER | Women’s Aid Organisation (WAO) welcomes the launch of the ‘Mosques To Be Transit Centres for Domestic Violence Victims’ programme by the Women, Family, and Community Development Ministry and the Federal Territories Islamic Religious Department (Jawi).
It was reported yesterday that 14 mosques across Kuala Lumpur have committed to providing temporary boarding, counselling services, and basic necessities to survivors seeking refuge. These sites will function as Complaint Centres as well, open to individuals of all ethnicities and religions.
Jawi officers stationed at these mosques have been trained with a focus on applying empathy, attention, response, and support in handling domestic violence cases. Survivors will also receive a personal care kit including clean clothes, toiletries, and other basic necessities as a self-care aid during this time.

KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 902 cases of domestic violence was reported from January to April this year, with most of them caused by economic pressure due to affected income, says Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Rina Mohd Harun.
She said statistics from the police showed that 5,260 investigation papers had been opened involving domestic violence last year.
During the same period, the ministry’s Talian Kasih had received 2,540 calls related to domestic violence cases.
“Probably many are affected in terms of income or lost their jobs. When they (have) to stay at home, movement restrictions might have caused them to take out their emotional stress on the family members,“ she said after attending the launching of mosques as transit centres for victims of domestic violence programme at the Federal Territory Mosque here today.
