Our Work

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.

East Asia

We track the tightening control of religious life across the region and support the families of those detained for their beliefs.

Latin America

Church leaders who speak up for their communities are threatened, displaced and silenced, and those who leave the majority faith face detention.

Middle East & North Africa

We document restrictions on worship, conversion and expression across the region, and work with diaspora communities to reach decision-makers.

South Asia

Anti-conversion laws, blasphemy charges and mob violence leave religious minorities exposed. We gather the evidence and press governments to protect them.

Sub-Saharan Africa

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.

International Arenas

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.
