National Religious Freedom Day

The United States’s dedication to the freedom of religion or belief continues uninterrupted.  Over the past four years, the United States has worked tirelessly to secure this right for everyone around the world.  These efforts include: documenting religious freedom conditions in every country and designating countries of particular concern; declaring the actions of members of the Burmese military against Rohingya to be genocide and crimes against humanity; expanding to over 40 countries the International Freedom of Religion or Belief Alliance; taking life-saving action to protect thousands of human rights defenders and individuals persecuted for their religious beliefs or affiliations; releasing the first-ever National Strategy to Combat Anti-Semitism and the first-ever National Strategy to Combat Islamophobia and anti-Arab Hate; prosecuting hate crimes targeting religious minorities;  and protecting places of worship globally.
