Forgotten Women

Forgotten Women Our Vision: To envisage a world where vulnerable women have the opportunity to develop In many areas of the world, women are the backbone of society.

Why Forgotten Women:

“It is the unbearable suffering and exploitation of vulnerable women around the world, that I chose to make a difference through Forgotten Women.” Sunny Bahia, Forgotten Women

Forgotten Women is a charity run by women for women, a charity dedicated to helping women in crisis and emergencies. The charity was set up after witnessing first-hand the ‘sex for aid’ and manipulation of women in vulnerable situations. We envision a world where every woman is given the opportunity to live a life free from humiliation, poverty and abuse. A world in which women are free to preserve their dignity, health, well-being and economic independence. It is they who nurture and provide the stability in a family, promoting and instilling social cohesion in the wider community. More often than not, they are the rock in times of conflict and crisis, but tragically women are also amongst the most vulnerable in society. Forgotten Women endeavours to help women who have suffered injustice, hardship and neglect whether it is due to war, natural disasters or poverty. Our objective is to offer women the opportunity to develop their independence and protect their dignity. Every woman deserves the right to live a safe, happy life and with your support we can make that a reality for all. Charity Reg Number: 1169466

On 12 January 2022, 23-year-old primary school teacher and musician Ashling Murphy was exercising along the Grand Canal near Tullamore, County Offaly, Ireland, when she was attacked and killed by a stranger she had never met.

Her killer, Jozef Puska, was later convicted of her murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. The court found no known connection between them, and no motive for the attack was ever established.

Ashling was doing something completely ordinary.

She should have come home.

Women should not need extraordinary courage to live ordinary lives.

Not every distribution has to be about survival.
Sometimes it can also be about bringing a little comfort, sweetness, and normality into someone’s day.✨❤️

A hot meal is more than food. It’s hope.

Our community kitchens are cooking daily for displaced families who have lost everything, giving them a warm, dignified meal when there is nowhere else to turn.

One kitchen feeds hundreds. One meal brings a family together again.

Help us keep the stoves burning. 🤍
