Striking at the Foundations

The World Watch List 2026 Advocacy report: Striking at the Foundations has been released, and thanks to you, it is already making an impact. 

This year, we had the amazing opportunity to hold 2 parliamentary launches! On 14 January, 113 MPs attended the World Watch List 2026 launch in Westminster (London). On 19 January, 27 MLAs and 1 MP attended the launch in Stormont (Northern Ireland). They all heard first hand about the latest research on global Christian persecution and received a copy of the report.

Not every MP and MLA was able to attend the launch. But every MP and MLA should have the opportunity to engage with this vital information. Can you help ensure no one misses out?
     

Why this matters right now 

In 2025, the UK Government published a new strategy to prioritise global freedom of religion or belief (FoRB), identifying ten priority countries. Eight of these countries feature in the top 20 countries on the World Watch List 2026. 

By providing key persecution trends and clear policy recommendations, the report equips MPs with the evidence they need to challenge policy, influence practice and protect the fundamental right to FoRB. 
 

Past impact

Last year, 533 MPs received a copy of the report because of you! That is an incredible achievement, and together we can do it again. 


Act today

  • Send a copy of the report to your MP. If you are based in N.Ireland, you can also send a copy to your MLA(s). Help ensure they are informed and equipped to hold the UK Government accountable to its FoRB commitments. 
  • If your MP/MLA attended the launch, take a moment to thank them for representing you and engaging with this important issue.
