International work

Most of our campaigns are carried out at national levels in the UK, the devolved nations, and the crown dependencies, but we are also active internationally, advocating globally for the same freedoms and rights that we promote and defend at home.

We are a member of the global umbrella organisation Humanists International and have our own representation at the United Nations. We also work with the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office and UK parliamentarians to support them in advocating for these rights and freedoms too.
