	Our current state of continual uncertainty surrounding the pandemic reminds me how many individuals belonging to religious groups around the world experience daily uncertainty for being people of faith. Amidst 20-plus years of rising government restrictions on religion and social hostilities involving religion, the global movement to advance religious freedom needs a new approach. Increasing government restrictions and social hostilities show how the world today is religiously less free than years past. This increase has occurred despite the remarkable work of religious freedom advocates and builders. Because of these challenging trends, the IRF secretariat studied new directions for expanding and coordinating religious freedom, or freedom of religion or belief (FORB) initiatives. This session will discuss new opportunities, both globally and regionally, that advocates and builders can work on cooperatively to see these trends reversed.<br />
	<br />
	Open discussion of these ideas will continue after the Business panel.</p>
