We work to defend, uphold and promote the right to freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) in over 20 countries across Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. Through our advocacy, we challenge world leaders to fulfil their duty to protect FoRB.
We track the tightening control of religious life across the region and support the families of those detained for their beliefs.
Anti-conversion laws, blasphemy charges and mob violence leave religious minorities exposed. We gather the evidence and press governments to protect them.
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.
