Our Executive Director Dr. Rasheed Draman represented the African Centre for Parliamentary Affairs (ACEPA) at this year’s International Religious Freedom (IRF) Summit that took place in Washington DC, which started on the 30th of January and ended on the 31st of January. Recognizing the fact that the issue of international religious freedom touches every culture, nation, religion, and political system, the IRF Summit 2024 brought together a broad coalition that passionately supports religious freedom around the globe.
Participants raised the profile of international religious freedom on a wide variety of issues using an array of mechanisms best suited for each circumstance. The Summit aims to connect resources and advocates interested in religious freedom and highlight the personal testimonies of survivors of religious persecution and restrictions on religious freedom.
