Description

The European Parliament in Brussels welcomed the Faith and Freedom Summit II on 2nd of April 2019.

For the second year in a row the Faith & Freedom Summit met on April 2nd in the European Parliament, forging the way forward with concerned European politicians, administrators, NGOs and individuals to ensure that the key fundamental human right of freedom of religion or belief is not left behind and reduced to a second-class right.

The Faith and Freedom Summit is a coalition of 20 NGOs which have come together to promote religious tolerance, particularly within the European Union. It is a non-partisan initiative which gathers high-level thought-leaders to highlight where religious freedom is hindered in the European Union today; to assess areas that need to be improved with regards to the protection of freedom of religion or belief; and to be a force proposing and outlining policies toward a greater respect for religious diversity in Europe.
