Worldwide, there are growing threats to freedom of religion or belief, including discrimination, acts of violence and the politicization of religion or belief. Therefore, the need for parliamentarians to be equipped and resourced to work together to protect the right to freedom of religion or belief as an integral part of the broader human rights framework has never been more important.

IPPFoRB’s goal for the next four years is:

Strengthening a broad coalition of FoRB-sensitive parliamentarians working in partnership with other relevant stakeholders for freedom of religion or belief on the national, regional, and international level.

To achieve this, IPPFoRB will:

✓ Mobilize parliamentarians in actions and advocacy initiatives in support of freedom of religion or belief.

✓ Equip parliamentarians with necessary tools and resources for advocacy on freedom of religion or belief.

✓ Promote cooperation and partnerships that strengthen IPPFoRB’s position as a reputable actor and partner on freedom of religion or belief.
