Ayaan har også blitt av hedret fra oss i HRS, som kåret henne til Årets Europeiske Bjelleku. Det britiske magasinet Readers Digest hedrer nå Hirsi Ali, og i den forbindelse sier hun:

You can be forced into marriage with someone who’s going to rape you every night. You will conceive children year after year when you don’t want to be pregnant.”
