Faithless Hijabi

About Faithless Hijabi

Faithless Hijabi’s primary purpose is to assist ExMuslims who face threats to their life or wellbeing as a result of their apostasy from Islam. At present we offer the Mental Health Program that provides ExMuslims with 12 therapy sessions with our partnered therapists and clinics in English/Arabic

Faithless Hijabi is a charitable organization dedicated to supporting secularism and humanism, with a focus on providing mental health support for ExMuslims. We were established in October 2018 and initially focused on amplifying the voices of women who faced honor violence as a result of their apostasy. Since then, we have expanded our mission to also include advocating for a safe environment for all apostates by offering mental health support. We understand that leaving the faith can be a difficult and isolating experience, and we are here to offer a supportive community and access to mental health services. Our trained counselors offer one-on-one counselling sessions for ExMuslims who have identified that their mental health is at risk as a result of their apostasy. In addition to our counselling services, we also offer resources and support for ExMuslims to help them navigate their new identity and build a sense of community via our partners and affiliates.

Defending the rights of ExMuslims

At Faithless Hijabi we aim to promote, protect and defend the human rights of ExMuslims.

✽ We believe in universal human rights. This includes people who may or may not subscribe to a religion, regardless of whether they at one point belonged to a religious group or not.

✽We work with ExMuslims from abusive backgrounds by guiding them to the relevant organisations in their country that can support them.

✽ We provide mental health support for ExMuslims who have identified that their mental health has been detrimentally impacted as a result of their apostasy, sexual orientation or gender through verified practices and independent therapists.

✽ Assist ExMuslims who have been affected or are in danger of being affected by violence due to their apostasy with evacuation procedures alongside other secular organisations and relevant agencies in the area.
