Advocacy
Working at an international level to improve the rights and treatment of persecuted minorities.

Forcibly displaced persecuted Christians and other minorities live with constant fear, threats, or violence. If they speak up, it can make things even more dangerous for them. That’s why advocacy is important; it gives them a voice when the can’t safely use their own.
In many parts of the world, religious minorities are forced out of their homes and face violence simply because of their faith. Governments or powerful groups try to hide or deny the abuse happening under their control.
Strong religious or ideological beliefs often shape politics and laws in these places, leading to discrimination, unfair treatment, and open hostility toward people who hold different beliefs. Because of this, many families lose their homes, their rights, and are forced to run for safety.

Christians who are forcibly displaced often have almost no rights or protection. They may face discrimination, lack legal support, and sometimes cannot access UNHCR or asylum services in host countries. Our advocacy helps bring attention to their situation so the world cannot ignore them.
The following statements are from Afghan Christians/ethnic minorities communicating their experience in Pakistan when registering with the UNHCR:
"When we told them we were Christians, they baulked at us. They were not happy. This has happened to us more than once."
“We are afraid that that the Taliban would find out who and where we are, for us and my extended family, they have us on their list.”

Will you help persecuted Christians receive the protection they desperately need?
We speak up for persecuted Christian minorities by working with Christian organisations, churches, and faith‑based partners around the world.
Together, we speak with national governments, humanitarian groups, and UN bodies to raise awareness of the dangers these communities face. We share accurate information, call for better protection and fair treatment, and work to make sure these vulnerable groups receive real support. By joining with trusted international partners, we help ensure persecuted Christians are not forgotten and that their needs are heard by those in power.
