Democracy needs diversity. 🌍

A strong democracy makes space for different:

💭 Beliefs
🗣️ Voices
🌎 Cultures
👥 Communities
🤝 Perspectives

We do not have to believe the same things to share equal rights.

Believe. Question. Change. Choose. 💭

Freedom of Religion or Belief protects something deeply personal:

Your conscience.

Whether you believe, change your beliefs, follow a religion, or have no religion at all, your rights matter.

What is FoRB? 👇

Freedom of Religion or Belief means you have the right to:

🤝 Believe
🔄 Change your belief
🕊️ Practise your religion or belief
💭 Have no religion or belief
⚖️ Be treated equally

Different beliefs. Equal rights.

[UNSR on freedom of religion or belief @NazilaGhanea]

As the freedom of religion or belief mandate concerns also confirm (see allegation letters and country reports) there are increased incidents in many parts of the world reflecting the "growing polarisation and the politicisation of Muslim communities" https://t.co/2i0nhYB4nw

"We see communities facing persecution and repression: The Uyghurs and Tibetans under severe pressure in China. Christians brutally targeted in Nigeria. Baháí and other religious minorities suffering discrimination and harassment in Iran and Yemen. The world must have a coalition that refuses to look away."
