The Call
Dear Friend of the Family,
As an urgent matter we need an outpouring of support from all corners of the world to stop a serious threat to our families and our religious liberties worldwide.
We are calling upon concerned citizens, religious leaders, and NGOs everywhere to stand with us against this serious attack at the UN.
The Threat
A new report issued by the UN-appointed expert on religious freedom or belief is claiming, among other things, that legal protections for life in the womb, marriage, and protections for children against harmful sexuality education violate internationally recognized human rights including sexual and reproductive rights.
This so-called UN expert is scheduled to present his harmful report to the UN General Assembly in less than two weeks on October 20, and we need UN Member States to reject it.
The UN expert’s report also:
- Instructs religions to reinterpret their religious texts to be in harmony with a radical, twisted and distorted understanding of “human rights.”
- Seeks to ban voluntary “change therapy” for LGBT individuals with gender confusion or unwanted sexual attractions and to attempt to redefine the term “sex” to encompass sexual orientation and gender identities.
- Claims, religious opposition to any of these things constitutes violations of human rights.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the many serious problems in the report that ironically was issued by the UN expert who is supposed to protect religious freedom or belief!
This report simply cannot go unchallenged.
We have created an entire website to counteract this threat at protectreligiousfreedoms.org.
More details can be found on this website including a link to the report, an analysis of the serious threats in the report, and an FAQ page to answer questions you may have.
