Zara Kay: The Religious Switch
Zara Kay: The Religous Switch
Today I am extremely excited to Switch the Sitch with Human Rights Activist Zara Kay.
Zara founded Faithless Hijabi, an international non-profit organisation that seeks to support the rights of Muslim-raised women, especially those who are in the process of leaving or have left Islam.
She is a fierce advocate for women’s rights and left the Muslim faith as the value system conflicted with that of her own. Zara was detained in Tanzania in 2020 because of her social media posts, though they couldn’t legally detain her they tried to delay her travel by misplacing her Australian passport.
Zara founded Faithless Hijabi in 2018, with a mission to "Educate through stories," and "to empower an underrepresented group of women."
Zara and I discuss her passion to empower other women through education, her passion to recognise honor based abuse and her work with home affairs body in Australia to get more information on how we currently have support for these issues here on home soil.
Join our Facebook Group to chat to Zara or other likeminded community members who are Switching their Sitch, starting a small business or growing an Empire!
