International Religious Freedom
Roundtable
The IRF Roundtable convenes weekly and is an informal space where NGOs, individuals, and government officials from all faiths and beliefs gather, share information and stories of religious persecution, and take multi-faith actions to advocate for and build religious freedom for all.
Our approach
The IRF Roundtable Model has proven it is possible for people of all faiths and beliefs to engage each other across their deepest differences and take action together, as equal citizens. The practical results: mutual respect, trust, and reliance between faith and belief communities, and between these communities and governments, building peace and prosperity.
