What's Going On

Governments and non-state actors around the world have committed violent abuses against individuals on the basis of their religious beliefs or lack of such
beliefs.

Where It's Happening

What We're Doing

Through our targeted sanctions coalition, Human Rights First is helping civil society partners and others use tools like Global Magnitsky sanctions to promote accountability for those who commit serious human rights abuse in denying the freedom of religion or belief of others.

Join the Work

Interested civil society organizations can join our coalition to understand whether and how sanctions tools can help protect these rights.
