We work to defend, uphold and promote the right to freedom of religion or belief in over 20 countries across Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. Through our advocacy, we challenge world leaders to fulfil their duty to protect religious freedom.
Anti-conversion laws, blasphemy charges and mob violence leave religious minorities exposed. We gather the evidence and press governments to protect them.
We track the tightening control of religious life across the region and support the families of those detained for their beliefs.
From the Middle Belt of Nigeria to the prisons of Eritrea, our teams document attacks on communities of faith and hold governments to their commitments.
The UN in Geneva and New York, the European institutions and the UK and US governments — where the evidence we gather becomes pressure states feel.
