The event is part of a seven-city global initiative that includes past and upcoming forums in Berlin, Prague, Jerusalem, Latin America, the South Caucasus, and Central Asia. These convenings are designed to build a culture of philanthropy and a community of practice for advancing religious freedom through multi-sector co-creation.
IRF Secretariat operates in over 20 countries and serves as a key facilitator of civil society and government partnerships. Under Mitchell's leadership, the Secretariat is equipping local "builders" with the tools to turn advocacy into action and vision into viable policy partnerships.
Mitchell, a recognized thought leader in religious freedom and civil society engagement, emphasized the need for inclusive strategies that prioritize mutual responsibility and grassroots empowerment. Under his leadership, IRF Secretariat continues to serve as a global platform for advancing religious freedom through civic dialogue, shared responsibility, and peacebuilding partnerships.
"Freedom of religion or belief is not only a human right—it's a foundation for societal stability and security," Mitchell stated. "By coming together across sectors and faiths, we can build stronger, more peaceful communities around the world."
