End Blasphemy Laws

The End Blasphemy Laws campaign was launched in 2015 after the terrorist attack against Charlie Hebdo. The campaign is open to all who oppose blasphemy laws, including religious and secular communities, human rights groups, and all advocates of freedom of expression.

Humanists International is part of the International Coalition Against Blasphemy Laws which brings together individual people (like you!) and organizations that share the same goal: campaigning to repeal “blasphemy” and related laws worldwide.

We want to see the complete abolition all laws which criminalise:

“blasphemy”
“insult to religion”
“hurting religious sentiments”

or which similarly restrict questions, criticism, or ridicule of religion or religious concepts.

To achieve this Humanists International works with Member Organisations to support their own local lobbying work to repeal ‘blasphemy’ laws in their countries, and lobbies for the end of ‘blasphemy’ laws through our advocacy programme.

The campaign brings together individual people (like you!) and organisations that share the same goal: an end to “blasphemy” and related laws worldwide.
