Women’s Working Group

The IRF Women’s Working Group is an advocacy coalition that works to fulfill these purposes:

1. To affirm the positive role that freedom of religion or belief has had in uplifting of women and girls around the world.
2. To advocate under the UN Universal Declaration of human rights and other international instruments against religious persecution that bar religious freedom and human rights of all women and girls of any or no religious tradition.
3. To support women of all religious traditions and none who are championing religious freedom locally and globally to uplift themselves and their communities.
4. To increase awareness within each of the IRF working groups of the religious persecution of women and girls.
