Archbishop Bernard Longley stands with Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) on global campaign

As ACN explains...

Across the world today, Christians and other religious groups are facing growing violence and repression. It is now more important than ever that the United Nations and national governments take decisive action to defend the right to freedom of belief. 
 
That’s why we have launched a global petition to stand with Christians and other religious minorities who cannot freely live out their faith - a right guaranteed by Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UNDHR). 
 
Article 18 is the cornerstone of international law protecting freedom of religion and belief. Born out of the ashes of the Second World War, it serves as a reminder that every government has a duty to uphold and protect this fundamental human right.
 
Join with more than 32,000 people globally who have already signed and raise your voice to help those suffering for their faith. The petition will run until 2027, with a plan to present the petition to the United Nations in March 2027.
 
By signing this petition, you can help us urge world leaders to act on behalf of those who suffer simply for practicing their faith. 
 
Together, we can make a difference. 
 
Religious freedom is a human right, not a privilege.
