Statement by Ex-Muslims International As Ramadan begins, Ex-Muslims International acknowledges the right of individuals to observe their beliefs freely. However, the systemic oppression, human rights abuses, and coercion that accompanies Ramadan for those who do not or cannot fast makes this month one of fear, suffering, and forced compliance for many.

For many, the hijab is not a choice but a religious requirement imposed by honour culture, toxic modesty norms, and legal or familial pressures. It is a visible marker of a broader Islamic system that restricts women’s r ..read more
