European Humanist Federation

The European Humanist Federation-Fédération Humaniste Européenne (EHF-FHE) is an international association that federates numerous European humanist associations. It also has individual members. The members of its administrative board are elected for three-year terms by the general assembly of the member organisations. The EHF is closely allied with the International Humanist and Ethical Union (IHEU).

Based in Brussels, the EHF:

• promotes the principles of humanism and of a secular society, supporting human rights, opposing discrimination against non-believers and fighting for equal treatment.
• works in the European Union (where it is officially recognised as a partner for dialogue) and cooperates with like-minded Members of the European Parliament.
• works with the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.
• is active in the human rights wing of the OSCE (Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe), contributing to its conferences and making the case against religious privilege and in favour of democracy and the rule of law.
• gathers and shares information, develops policies, maintains a website (http://www.humanistfederation.eu), publishes booklets and holds meetings and conferences.
• works with its member organisations and helps them with information and assists with their campaigns.
• collaborates with other groups - including religious organisations - with whom it shares goals and interests.
