The CSW team spans the world! We’re a diverse group of highly skilled, deeply passionate people – including lawyers, advocacy experts, in-country partners and volunteers. And alongside us are those who faithfully pray, campaign, and give so generously to ensure our advocacy efforts are possible.

We’re all working together with one goal in mind: to see the world set free from religious persecution.
