Faithless Hijabi is an association founded by Zara Kay in 2018 in Sydney, Australia. Faithless Hijabi is a storytelling platform that enables ex-Muslim and questioning Muslim women to share their stories of apostasy, doubt and freedom while also providing support to women ostracised or abused for leaving islam.[1] While being a platform that creates safe spaces for women to express their dissent, Faithless Hijabi strives to take an active role in advocating for women's rights. FH is active on numerous social media in order to enable people to reach out for help. At present, the organisation primarily publishes stories and blogs in English, but has recently launched their Arabic social media pages.[2] FH's mission is "Educate through stories," and "to empower an underrepresented group of women."[3]
