ACN petition: support Christians persecuted for their faith
Aid to the Church in Need campaign to protect religious freedom
Around the world, countless Christians are denied a fundamental human right: the freedom to believe, worship and live out their faith without fear.
The consequences can be devastating. In June 2025, more than 250 Christian internally displaced people were massacred in Yelewata, Benue State, Nigeria. Many of those targeted had already fled violence and were seeking safety. Tragically, this was not an isolated incident, but part of a much wider global crisis.
This is why Aid to the Church in Need has launched its first-ever global Article 18 Petition, calling on governments and the United Nations to take meaningful action to defend freedom of religion or belief. By signing the petition, you can help send a clear message that religious freedom must be protected everywhere, for everyone.
