Our mission is to transform the lives of vulnerable women through aid, opportunity, and voice – an approach that embodies our commitment to Aid for Women, by Women.Our Story
Forgotten Women began in 2013 during the Syrian conflict, where women faced unimaginable atrocities, including abuse, rape, and transactional exploitation. In Aleppo, as bombs fell, women miscarried from fear and panic amidst the chaos of war. Initially, we planned to build a women-run hospital in Aleppo to provide safe healthcare, but sudden changes in the situation made this project unfeasible. This turning point revealed that while Syrian women desperately needed help, women worldwide were also in urgent need of basic aid, support, and dignity without fear or compromise. Motivated by this moral duty, Forgotten Women was officially registered in October 2016. Our first successful safe aid delivery was for Syrian women affected by war, along the Turkey-Syria border. Since then, our mission has been to stand with women globally, ensuring their dignity and humanity are upheld.Our Vision
We envision a world where vulnerable women can thrive, reclaim their dignity, and build a better future. Forgotten Women is a UK-based charity, run by women for women, dedicated to helping those in crisis and emergencies. We strive to lift women out of poverty, uphold their rights, and champion equality for marginalized girls and women. The charity was founded after witnessing the devastating “sex for aid” violations, where women in vulnerable situations were exploited and manipulated. As part of our commitment, we ensure safe aid delivery and provide the safety, emotional support, and reassurance these women deserve. As Sunny Bahia, CEO of Forgotten Women states: “Sex for aid and sexual exploitation should not and will not be tolerated.”
Emergency Aid for Gaza’s Families
In Gaza, women and children face daily struggles due to ongoing conflict. Forgotten Women provides life-saving support through women-led teams, ensuring aid is delivered safely and with dignity. Our £100 Emergency Packs contain essential food, medical supplies, hygiene products, and clean water or shelter. We can only achieve this with your support. Each £100 provides relief to one family; your generosity of £500, £1000, £2500, or £5000 extends that lifeline to 5, 10, 25, or 50 families. Your support can be a beacon of hope.

Mini & Mama's Ramadan Fundraiser
This Ramadan, Mini & Mama are fundraising to transform lives through the Women in Business initiative by Forgotten Women. Many women, especially widows and single mothers, face extreme poverty and lack financial independence. This project provides them with the tools, training, and resources to start their own businesses, ensuring they can support their families with dignity. With your donations, women will receive essential business training, equipment, and start-up support to run their own enterprises. Whether it's tailoring, small-scale farming, or local trade, these businesses help them achieve long-term self-sufficiency. This initiative is Zakat-eligible, making it a perfect way to give this Ramadan.
