Spread the word

The AHA Foundation advocates to expand and strengthen federal and state laws in the US that help protect women and girls from female genital mutilation (FGM), honor violence, forced marriage and other issues that impact the well-being and threaten lives of women and girls.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a living feminist icon. Her story is great, worth reading.
