Helping ExMuslims move beyond religious trauma and into healing, strength, and self-defined futures
Healing Without Borders
Faithless Hijabi’s mental health program is a lifeline for ExMuslims navigating religious trauma, isolation, and displacement. Rooted in safety, cultural sensitivity, and dignity, this initiative connects individuals with therapists who understand the unique challenges of leaving faith. More than just a support service, it’s a trusted space where ExMuslims begin their healing journey—whether they’re in hiding, in exile, or rebuilding life on their own terms. Because when those most silenced find care, they find power—and healing ripples outward.

ExMuslims are waiting to receive support
From Egypt
“I’ve been told my entire life that being gay is sinful and disgusting. As a closeted ExMuslim, I feel like I’m constantly hiding who I amnot just my lack of faith but also my identity. The shame and fear of being discovered are overwhelming, and I just want to find peace with myself.”
From the UK
“When my sisters turned against me, it shattered me. I’ve always wanted family ties, but I can’t keep sacrificing my mental health to maintain a relationship with people who don’t accept me. I feel like I’m losing my sanity.”
From Pakistan
“Living with religious trauma feels like carrying an invisible weight. I struggle with anxiety, guilt, and constant flashbacks of the emotional abuse I endured. I need help understanding why these feelings linger and how to break free from them.”
From Malaysia
“I live in a country where being gay is not only taboo but illegal. Leaving Islam has already made me a target, and now I’m constantly worried about my safety. I want to find a way to live authentically without putting myself in danger.”
From Jordan
“Since I left Islam, I’ve felt completely alone. My friends from my Muslim community drifted away, and I don’t trust them anymore. I feel stuck between missing the connection I once had and being afraid of opening up again.”
Refugee from Saudi Arabia,
currently in the UK
“I fled my home country because my family discovered I had left Islam. They threatened my life, and I knew I couldn’t stay. Now, as a refugee, I feel lost and overwhelmed. I’m constantly looking over my shoulder, terrified someone will find out where I am. I need help dealing with the trauma of being uprooted, the fear that still grips me, and the guilt of leaving my family behind.”
