Atheist Ireland ➤ Faithless Hijabi, a support group for women who are questioning or leaving Islam, is starting a new online mental health programme.

 

The support group was founded by Zara Kay, a Tanzanian-born ex-Muslim atheist based in London.

Many of the women who they help come from Muslim-majority countries, where apostasy is punishable by death, and the defiance of forced veiling results in abuse, harassment, imprisonment, or even murder by their families.

Faithless Hijabi helps these women by:

  • Guiding them to the relevant organisations in their country that can support them.
  • Providing a support system and mentoring them to achieve financial independence.
  • Creating a nurturing environment for a balanced conversation with their families.
  • Helping them understand how to create and maintain boundaries.
