Humanists and rationalists in many parts of the world are engaged in dangerous struggles against witchcraft, superstition, and fanatical religion. In August, a leading campaigner against superstition in India was shot dead by gunmen, and in May, a young Humanist teacher was abducted by a Maoist group and forced into marriage.
In this talk, Bob Churchill will be outlining the international work of the IHEU, with a special focus on projects in Uganda where witchcraft, child sacrifice, extreme homophobia and AIDS present major challenges to development.
Bob Churchill is Communications Officer for the International Humanist and Ethical Union (IHEU). Having worked professionally for national Humanist organisations in Britain, Uganda, and lately at IHEU itself, he has a unique perspective on organised Humanism around the world and will explain how it is expressed in different regions, and discuss the most significant challenges it faces going forward.
“Discover how international Humanism is fighting superstition and fanatical religion, and helping to create a better world”
