Our mission
Founded during the month of Ramadan in 2003, CAGE is an independent grassroots organisation striving for a just world.
SUPPORT THE OPPRESSED
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, Allah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Resurrection." (Muslim)
We work closely with survivors of abuse and mistreatment across the globe, documenting their abuse and enabling them to take action, and access due process.
SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “The Best type of Jihad is speaking a word of truth in the presence of a tyrant ruler.” (Ibn Majah)
We campaign against discriminatory state policies, and advocate for due process and the rule of law.
We carry out cutting edge research and provide a voice for survivors of the war on terror, challenging the dominant securitised narrative around Islam and Muslims .
EMPOWER THE COMMUNITY
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever guides someone to goodness will have a similar reward.” (Muslim)
We empower communities through educational workshops, community events and informative seminars.
What Imams and survivors say about us?
“CAGE is like Al Mu’tasim for me. They hear the cry of injustice and they respond. I ask everyone to donate to CAGE whatever you can; because they stood by me when no one did.”
Sister Maryam
“It might be better than supporting 10 da’is or scholars because they cannot do their job properly without an organisation that protects Islam and Muslims."
Shaykh Dr Haitham Al Haddad
"Torture survivor Ali Al-Marri: “I encourage you very highly to support our brothers at CAGE whom have supported me, and without Allah’s support and theirs I would have never been able to try and get my Justice from the ones who tortured me.”
Ali Al-Marri
“I extend my heartfelt thanks and support for the work of CAGE on behalf of all men and women detained without charge or trial in Guantanamo and the secret prisons. Your work is truly inspirational”.
Sami Al-Hajj
“I believe CAGE deserves to put up a signboard and write on it, honour bound to defend freedom.”
Faiz Al-Kandari
"CAGE’s work is a reminder to us all that indifference or neutrality to injustice is never an option, that the empathic disconnect in remaining silent to another's suffering is too heavy a burden for us all to bear.”
Dr Uthman Lateef
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
“Allah said: Spend in charity, O son of Adam, and I will spend on you.”
