Muslimas get attacked all the time when they are covered, it can maybe stop abuse but not all the time. In Egypt women in the burka get their asses pinched and recieve cat calls from Egyptian men. True story.
Overall it's a society of deprivation in many areas. That's why Muslim men, upon arrival in Western countries like the US hit the brothels in places like Vegas. In fact wealthy Arab men are famous for this in Nevada. And Muslim men in general have absolutely no standards, they will basically do it with anything that has a pulse, even a dog.
On the other hand, as soon as Muslim women get on an airplane heading to a Western country, the veils and Burkas are taken off as soon before the plane is even in the air, as if someone has unshackled the poor women.
