THE AHA FOUNDATIONIn response to ongoing abuses of women’s rights, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and her supporters established the AHA Foundation in 2007 to protect and defend the rights of women and girls in the U.S. from oppression justified by religion and culture. The AHA Foundation works to protect and reinforce the basic rights and freedoms of women and girls, and is particularly focused on forced marriages, honor violence, and female genital mutilation. As an advocacy organization, the AHA Foundation engages in four primary activities to combat these horrific forms of violence against women and girls. First, we investigate reports of these crimes and compile data, which is not currently tracked by any law enforcement or government agency. Second, we inform the public and raise awareness about the presence of these crimes in the U.S. Third, we work to persuade politicians and policymakers to prioritize the enforcement of laws that protect women’s rights and, where necessary, to create special legislation to protect the rights and freedoms of women and girls from oppression justified by religion and culture. Fourth, we offer training and support to law enforcement and service providers about these issues and refer women who contact us for help to appropriate services. More information about our work can be found on our website: www.theahafoundation.org. This resource directory is intended to provide contact information for organizations that may be able to assist women facing threats of honor violence, forced marriage, or female genital mutilation. Although we made efforts to research each of these organizations, we did not visit each of them personally and therefore cannot vouch for their safety. If you would like additional assistance locating a service provider or law enforcement agency in your area, please contact the AHA Foundation at [email protected].
