About us:
AHA Foundation was established by Ayaan Hirsi Ali in 2007 to put the ideas she writes about into practice. AHA Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that is committed to preserving, protecting, and promoting Western freedoms and ideals.
We stand up for universal human rights and oppose tyranny in all its forms, whether it comes from oppressive traditions such as female genital mutilation, honor violence, and child/forced marriage, illiberal ideologies shutting down free speech and inquiry on campus and beyond, or Islamist extremism.
We believe that Western values and ideals apply to and protect everyone. We champion a world defined by liberty for all.

We work to liberate women and girls from oppressive traditional practices that violate their human rights.
Honor violence, female genital mutilation and child/forced marriage are happening today in the United States. AHA Foundation is the only organization focused on supporting women at risk in the U.S. from all three of these outdated practices. We work with policy makers, law enforcement, social services and communities to end honor violence, child/forced marriage and female genital mutilation.

Honor violence, female genital mutilation and forced marriage are happening today in the United States. The AHA Foundation is the only organization focused on supporting women at risk in the U.S. from all three of these outdated cultural practices. We work with policy makers, law enforcement, social services and communities to end honor violence, forced marriage and female genital mutilation.
We ensure hard won civil rights are upheld on campuses.
Important freedoms are being stifled in many United States college communities today. Political correctness and political bias have closed minds to engaging with differing points of view in the spirit of open-minded inquiry.
AHA Foundation provides opportunities for students to engage with issues too often neglected in academic curricula, such as the primacy of human rights, Constitutional liberties and the relationship between Islam and the West.

We unify activists to expose Islamism
AHA Foundation supports the work of its founder in calling for the reform of Islam, to become more compatible with fundamental human rights, and thereby ensuring all people can live safely and flourish in modern society. We work with Muslims and ex-Muslim reformers who want to protect the liberties of all people.
AHA Foundation was instrumental in creating the CLARITy (Champions for Liberty Against the Reality of Islamist Tyranny) Coalition and Ayaan Hirsi Ali is one of its founding members. By working with CLARITy, we strive to build a diverse coalition of Muslim reformers, ex-Muslims, activists, writers, academics, and more to push back against the dangerous ideology of Islamist extremism, which seeks to elevate antiquated religious understandings of people and society above universal human rights and secular governance.
