01 / Mission
Torch QRF is dedicated to safeguarding religious freedoms globally by educating government leaders, the media, and the American public on emerging threats, highlighting regions of severe persecution, advocating for effective solutions, and exposing perpetrators of atrocities against faith communities.
02 / Our Work
Religious freedoms are under siege in various forms, including discriminatory laws, societal intolerance, and state sponsored oppression. We provide accessible resources and analyses to inform government leaders, the media, and the American public about global threats to religious freedoms, empowering these key stakeholders to recognize and respond to these issues.
Regions like the Middle East, parts of Asia, and certain African nations represent critical zones where faith-based violence persists. We identify and document areas where religious persecution is most acute, drawing attention to vulnerable populations and urgent crises and shining a light on human-rights atrocities.
Our work focuses on results that bring real solutions for those suffering religious persecution and violence. This includes practical policy recommendations, partnerships with global organizations, legal support for victims, and accountability for perpetrators of violence. We emphasize sustainable approaches to mitigate persecution and threats, while educating government leaders on actionable strategies.
