Why is IGEs work so urgent?
Today there are hundreds of millions of people in sixty countries where religious persecution and discrimination are rampant. Common government-sponsored and government-tolerated forms of abuse include surveillance and harassment by security forces; prohibitions on freedoms of speech, assembly, and property; and even physical violence such as beatings and torture. Those who suffer for their religious convictions need to know that the rest of the world stands with them, and advocates on their behalf. At the same time, many governments around the world are facing a wave of rising religious extremism which threatens to destabilize the social and political order. States need to find ways to respond to these threats without making the problems worse; over-regulation or repression of religious groups can often inadvertently fuel radicalism. IGE also works, therefore, with government officials to advance the view that religious freedom is not simply a fundamental right, but that it contribute
