The European Humanist Federation-Fédération Humaniste Europeenne (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 Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly.
● is active in the human rights wing of the OSCE (Organisation for Security and Cooperation 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[1], 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.
