SUMMARY:Ex-Muslim Awareness Month: End Apostophobia!
DESCRIPTION:Join Ex-Muslims International for the third Ex-Muslim Awareness Month in December 2024.\nThis year\, we demand an end to apostophobia\, because leaving Islam is a human right!\nApostophobia\, or the fear\, hatred\, discomfort with\, hostility towards\, or discrimination against apostates\, is rampant in Muslim families and Islamic states because apostasy is a forbidden and punishable sin in Islam\, by death according to Shariah. \nWith no or restricted access to support\, safety and freedom\, Ex-Muslims are continuing to suffer hateful\, violent and fatal consequences like being disowned\, abused\, imprisoned or even killed\, just for leaving Islam. \nThis Ex-Muslim Awareness Month in December 2024\, we invite you to share your stories of apostophobia\, amplify Ex-Muslim voices\, and join in calling an end to the hate and harm people experience for leaving Islam! \n2024 Ex-Muslim Awareness Month Hashtags\n#EndApostophobia #ExMuslimAwarenessMonth \nDefinition of Apostophobia:\nApostophobia is the fear\, hatred\, discomfort with\, hostility to\, or discrimination against Apostates. This sentiment is a form or racism and a person who harbours it is called an Apostophobic. Apostates are described as people who have left a religious in-group to join an out-group\, left their religious in-group and became non-religious\, or left a religious out-group to join another out-group. \nAbout Ex-Muslim Awareness Month\nEx-Muslim Awareness Month was born out of the Ex-Muslim Subreddit and organized for the first time in 2022 by Haram Doodles! Together with a coalition of Ex-Muslims\, including content creators\, organisations\, and communities of apostates worldwide\, this month is dedicated to raising awareness of Ex-Muslims\, celebrating the right to apostasy\, and advocating for our freedom to leave Islam. \nHeld immediately after “Islamophobia Awareness Month” in November\, Ex-Muslim Awareness Month shines a light on the unique challenges faced by those who have left Islam. For many\, this decision comes with life-altering consequences — from community rejection and isolation to threats of violence\, persecution\, and even death. \nWhy Ex-Muslim Awareness Month?\nFor Ex-Muslims\, leaving Islam is often a journey fraught with danger\, trauma\, and loss of community. Apostasy is forbidden in Islam\, and leaving the faith can lead to ostracisation\, harm\, or even state-sanctioned punishment. Most Ex-Muslims are forced to remain hidden to protect themselves from serious risks. This month provides a crucial space for raising awareness\, offering support\, and promoting the right to freedom of belief. \nGet Involved and Support Ex-Muslim Awareness Month by:\n\nFollowing and amplifying Ex-Muslim voices on social media using hashtags #ExMuslimMonth\, #ExMuslimAwarenessMonth\, and #ExMuslimAwarenessMonth2024 #EndApostophobia.\nLearning about Ex-Muslims and the challenges they face. If you’re unfamiliar\, start with googling “apostasy in Islam” or explore Ex-Muslim communities on Reddit\, Discord\, and Telegram.\nJoining a local or online Ex-Muslim organisation\, volunteering\, or donating to Ex-Muslim causes.\nAdvocating safely for Ex-Muslim rights within your own communities\, among friends\, or even on a policy level.\n\nLet’s work together to make sure that no one has to live in fear for questioning or leaving their faith. This month and beyond\, get to know Ex-Muslims\, learn about our stories\, and support our journey toward freedom and acceptance. \n  \n\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				End Apostophobia: Leaving Islam is a human right!\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				End Apostophobia: Freedom from religion is a human right!\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				End Apostophobia: Apostasy is a human right!\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				End Apostophobia: Arabic\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				End Apostophobia: Farsi
