Announcing the Youth Washington Muslim Survey 2025!
CAIR-WA has launched a survey focusing on school bullying for young Muslims in Washington. This survey is the first of its kind for Muslim youth in Washington state. As many of you know, Islamophobia has existed in our public schools for so long, but in the last year and a half we have a seen a rise in Islamophobia specifically targeting our children in the K-12 system. Unfortunately, our teachers and district staff are exceptionally under resourced when it comes to addressing these hate fueled incidents.
Recently, we secured funding to develop curriculum on Islamophobia for public schools in Washington, which is a great step forward. CAIR-WA’s 2025 Youth Washington Muslim Survey (the first ever!) is another step to end anti-Muslim bullying in Washington state.
We have anecdotes about school bullying, a general understanding of what’s happening in schools, and information from other states, but these are not a comprehensive picture. In this data-driven world, the results of this survey will give us leverage to advocate for youth. We hope that with the data from this survey, we can compel our school districts and elected officials to make real changes to protect our youth.
Please share this survey with any young people in your life who are ages 11-18, Muslim, and go to school in Washington state.
