As Christians, we stand with everyone facing injustice because of their religion or belief.
Everyone. Free to believe.
People are being restricted, punished or silenced for their religion or beliefs globally.
Discover what’s happening and why it matters:
We advocate for everyone to be free to choose, practise and share their religion or beliefs.

Our Impact
When we stand together, injustice gives way.
Freedom of religion or belief is under more pressure than ever. Every case we raise, every policy we help change and every voice we mobilise adds up to real protection for real people.
Policies changed.
We advocated for the European Union’s adoption of its Guidelines on Freedom of Religion or Belief, which reaffirmed its commitment to help prevent and address violations of this fundamental human right.
Communities equipped.
We provide human rights training and psychosocial support to communities under pressure in Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America, inspiring a multiplier effect: leaders prepared to support, train and advocate for others.
Justice secured.
We mobilise campaigns and international coalitions to free people imprisoned on account of their religion or belief, such as Pastor Nadarkhani, who faced death row in Iran for apostasy.
What we do
Defending the right to believe — for everyone.
Monitor and report
We research and document persecution and other violations of religious freedom, turning first-hand evidence into trusted reporting that drives action.
Advocate for change
We bring reports and cases to governments, parliaments and international bodies like the UN, pressing for change.
Stand with those denied their religious freedom
We support individuals and communities facing discrimination, working with partners to defend access to aid, justice and basic rights.
Mobilise a movement
Through offices and partners around the world, we unite people of all faiths and beliefs to speak up for those who are silenced.
