International Humanist and Ethical Union is the global representative body of the humanist movement, uniting a diversity of non-religious organisations and individuals.
We want everyone to live a life of dignity in a world where universal human rights are respected and protected, and where states uphold secularism.
We work to build, support and represent the global humanist movement, defending human rights, particularly those of non-religious people, and promoting humanist values world-wide. https://iheu.org/
