📢 Insights from the Freedom of Thought Report 2025![]()
![]()
Humanists Malta is proud to share insights from Humanists International’s 2025 Freedom of Thought Report — a vital global assessment of how countries uphold freedom of religion or belief and freedom of expression.![]()
![]()
This year’s report highlights a worrying trend: more governments are “using religion to justify repression and undermine human rights.” While some nations are adopting more progressive policies, many others are sliding toward authoritarianism, often targeting the non‑religious and religious minorities.![]()
Humanists International President Maggie Ardiente captures this clearly:![]()
![]()
“While they may present themselves as defenders of religious freedom and ‘traditional values,’ in practice they often push for religious privilege by eroding the human rights of minority groups and dismantling independent democratic institutions.”![]()
![]()
The report spotlights countries such as Georgia, where authorities claim to defend “family values” while labelling human rights defenders and independent media as “blasphemers” or enemies of Christian values — all while restricting free expression and criminalising peaceful protest.![]()
![]()
It also shares the powerful testimony of Mubarak Bala, former President of the Humanist Association of Nigeria, who was imprisoned simply for expressing his non‑religious beliefs. The report underscores that even countries once seen as strong defenders of fundamental freedoms are now facing unprecedented backsliding.![]()
![]()
💬 At a time when human rights groups worldwide are being silenced, the Freedom of Thought Report works to counter the rhetoric of the religious right and expose attacks on hard‑won freedoms.![]()
![]()
Humanists Malta stands firmly with Humanists International in defending the rights and dignity of the non‑religious and all minority groups. Our commitment to secularism, human rights, and human dignity remains unwavering.![]()

*SIGN* the petition and convince The European Commission to change their mind.![]()

The My Voice, My Choice initiative for safe and accessible abortion received some bad news. We got unofficial information that the European Commission is preparing a response with a negative attitude. But there is still time to act. We can still convince the European Commission to change their mind and say *YES*. ![]()

The final decision will be made on February 26. We need as many signatures as possible.![]()

In one week, on February 25, Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, and Hadja Lahbib, Commissioner responsible, will be, together with their colleagues, deciding if the EU will implement the demands of the My Voice, My Choice: for safe and accessible abortion initiative. In Europe, currently 20 million women don’t have access to safe abortion care and their health and lives are in danger because of it. My Voice, My Choice wants to change this.![]()
![]()
We only have 7 days to convince the European Commission to listen to the voices of 1,2 million people who signed the initiative and vote to protect women. Our mission is simple: Flood their social media with people asking them to support My Voice, My Choice.![]()

Please tag @hadjalahbib and @ursulavonderleyen everywhere. Let’s make them see this post, let’s make them see what kind of Europe people want!![]()
