FACE's MISSION is to drive focused cultural change among Muslims that leads to transparent survivor- centered community safety and leader accountability, outside the criminal legal system, for those who abuse their positions of trust and authority.
FACE's VISION is to realize a community that is known for its unfailingly survivor-centered, transparent, and outspoken approach to leader accountability by prioritizing victims and vulnerable people above reputations and institutional protection.

Departments:
1 - Investigations: Our primary mandate centers on a seven-discipline process to investigate allegations of abuse by leaders in faith-based environments. Currently our work focuses on establishing this service within all areas of the Muslim community using a survivor-centered and trauma-informed approach.
