About this project
Project Exit Hate exists because there was not a clear, honest place online for people who are living with this. Either trying to leave. Or watching someone they love disappear into it.
What already exists tends to come from think tanks, government programmes, or academic institutions. Those resources have value but they do not talk to real people in a way that real people can use. This is trying to do that instead.
This is not a government programme. There is no political party behind it. No think tank funding it. It is a small project built because the gap was real and worth trying to fill.
The people this is for are the ones who do not fit the headline version of this problem. The parent who is terrified and does not know what to say at dinner. The partner watching someone drift away. The person inside who is starting to wonder if this is actually who they are. Those people needed somewhere to go.
We try to be honest about what we know and honest about what we do not. Radicalisation is complicated. Leaving is hard. Staying connected to someone inside when everything in you wants to either argue or disappear is harder than most people realise. We are not going to pretend otherwise.
If you want to talk, use the contact page. We read everything.
