Freethinkers International is a worldwide community and support network for people who think for themselves: atheists, humanists, sceptics, ex-believers, and LGBTQ+ people who face pressure or persecution because of what they believe or who they are.

What we do

Peer groups and community

Members meet in regional and themed peer groups. Each group has its own Café for chatting, a forum and articles. You can join with an alias and without a photo, so you decide how visible you are.

Safety information

We share practical information on staying safe online and offline, for people who live where leaving religion or being LGBTQ+ is dangerous.

Support for people in danger

Volunteers support people who are persecuted or cast out because of their convictions or identity, including persecuted believers. We help with referral to recognised organisations, case management, online trauma therapy through our partner Stichting Wereldpsychologen, and financial support for basic needs. We only work with legal routes: emergency aid, legal aid and resettlement through recognised channels.

Meals for street children in Nigeria

Through street-kids.org we provide meals, vocational training and care for Almajiri boys in Maiduguri, together with a local coordinator.

Our impact

In 2024 we received 136 requests for help from 37 countries. Everyone who works for us is a volunteer. Organisational costs were 4% of spending in 2024.
