The organization, Facing Abuse in Community Environments (FACE) states, "Members of the Muslim community are collectively coming to terms with the fact that among the people who are serving as leaders, including clergy, teachers and religious scholars, are those that abuse their positions of power and violate their ethical responsibilities. Despite the commandments within Islamic teachings that prohibit the transgressing of boundaries or acting abusively towards others, especially the added responsibilities placed on leaders, there are people in positions of power who readily transgress to the point of becoming abusive. It is our responsibility as a community to address this accountability gap."
Podcasts for Learning and Levity:

In a podcast by Carla Santamaria, she writes, "In episode 18 of The First Gen Coach Podcast, Carla opens up about her experience disaffiliating from Mormonism, the stalking and harassment she endured from a fellow congregant, and why she ultimately left a religion she could no longer align herself with.
