Do you have a personal connection to a religious site? Then we want to hear from you.

Places of worship are meant to be safe havens for people to freely practice their freedom of religion or belief. But in recent years, we have witnessed a tragic surge of attacks on religious sites.

That’s why we want YOU to join us in standing up #forSafeWorship. You can contribute to safeguarding religious sites by submitting a video showcasing your personal connection to a place of worship.

Breech Harani, a filmmaker from the Philippines and former PLURAL+ recipient, took us up on this challenge and sent us a video about the role that his local church has played in his life. Check out his message calling on more people to join the campaign.

If you want to contribute to protecting the right to express one’s faith without fear, then stand up #forSafeWorship by sending us your own video.

Breech Harani is a Philippine-based independent filmmaker and past recipient of the Plural Plus Youth Video Festival International Jury Distinction. See his PLURAL+ video here:
