For many of us, religious freedom is something we can easily take for granted. Yet for countless Christians and members of other religious minorities, faith can come at a great cost. People face discrimination, harassment, imprisonment, violence, forced displacement and even death simply because of what they believe. According to Aid to the Church in Need’s Religious Freedom in the World 2025 report, more than 5.4 billion people – almost two-thirds of humanity – live in countries where serious violations of religious freedom occur. Christians and members of other religious communities continue to experience persecution, oppression and discrimination across Africa, the Middle East, Asia and beyond. This is why ACN has launched its first-ever global religious freedom petition, calling on national governments and the United Nations to take urgent action to protect this fundamental right. At the heart of this campaign is Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which guarantees freedom of thought, conscience and religion — including the right to change one’s belief and to practise it openly or privately. As Christians, we are called to stand alongside our suffering brothers and sisters and to be a voice for those whose voices have been silenced. By signing the petition, you can help send a clear message that religious freedom must be protected everywhere, for everyone.
