The World Is
More Divided Than Ever
engage across their deepest differences, stand up for, and protect each other.
Our World Faces:
- Government restrictions and social hostilities that fuel hatred, religious persecution, and violence against people of all faiths and beliefs.
- Faith and belief communities that feel targeted, isolated, and vulnerable.
- Far too many people living in fear because of their faiths and beliefs.
We Understand. Since 2018, IRF Secretariat has been convening
the International Religious Freedom (IRF) Roundtable,
bringing people together, and helping all faith and
belief communities fight for their very
survival around the world.
We at IRF Secretariat know every faith and belief community wants much more than mere survival. They all deserve freedom, peace, and prosperity.
We are multi-faith advocates and action-oriented builders of freedom of thought, conscience, and religion or belief for all people. And by putting religious freedom into action, we are building mutual understanding, respect, trust, and reliance… which builds social cohesion and civil societies… which builds and strengthens security and stability… all of which empowers greater economic development and growth.
This is the road to sustainable peace and prosperity.
IRF Secretariat is Committed to Assisting and Empowering
People of All Faiths and Beliefs to feel…

Respected
The multi-faith engagement and actions we facilitate have proven to build respect for the human dignity of people of all faiths and beliefs.

The more all faiths and beliefs stand up for each other in the public square, the more protection they build for liberty of conscience for all.
