The Platform defends and promotes Fundamental Rights, with special focus on freedom of religion (including freedom from religion), freedom of conscience and freedom of speech.

European Parliamentary Forum on Population & Development

EPF is a network of members of parliaments from across Europe who are committed to protecting the sexual and reproductive health of the world’s most vulnerable people, both at home and overseas. The network believes that women should always have the right to decide upon the number of children they wish to have, and should never be denied the education or other means to achieve this that they are entitled to.

European Women’s Lobby

The European Women’s Lobby (EWL) brings together the women’s movement in Europe in support of women’s human rights and equality between women and men. EWL envisions a society in which women’s contribution to all aspects of life is recognised, rewarded and celebrated – in leadership, in care and in production; all women have self-confidence, freedom of choice, and freedom from violence and exploitation; and no woman or girl is left behind.

Catholics for Choice

Catholics for Choice is “part of the great majority of the faithful in the Catholic church who disagrees with the dictates of the Vatican on matters related to sex, marriage, family life and motherhood. We are part of the great majority who believes that Catholic teachings on conscience mean that every individual must follow his or her own conscience ― and respect others’ right to do the same”. Catholics for Choice helps people and organizations confidently challenge the power of the Catholic hierarchy, which uses every means at its disposal to punish and publicly shame Catholics who don’t unquestioningly follow its edicts.

Young Humanist International

Center for Inquiry

The Center for Inquiry strives to foster a secular society based on reason, science, freedom of inquiry, and humanist values. Its vision is a world where people value evidence and critical thinking, where superstition and prejudice subside, and where science and compassion guide public policy.

The Center for Inquiry studies and promotes human values based on a naturalistic outlook. Ideological doctrine and religious dogma have no more right to dictate our moral norms than they do to influence scientific research.
