Just saw this on Sam Harris’ ‘The Reason Project’ website:

THE AHA FOUNDATION:The AHA Foundation was established by Ayaan Hirsi Ali as a charitable organization to help protect and defend the rights of women in the West against militant Islam.

Ayann Hirsi Ali, Founding member of AHA

Through education, outreach and the dissemination of knowledge, the Foundation aims to combat several types of crimes against women, including the abridgment of the education of girls, female genital mutilation, forced marriages, honor violence, and honor killings.

The AHA Foundation is opposed to the adoption of dual legal systems to adjudicate family disputes in religious families and supports the separation of all religions and the State.

The foundation stands firmly behind the rights of women and girls to security and control of their own physical beings, to education, to gainful work outside the home, to freedom of expression and association, and to all other civil rights of citizens and residents defined under the laws of Western democracies and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, regardless of sexual identification.

The Reason Project will collaborate with the AHA Foundation on future projects.
