• Mission
    Article 18 is dedicated to promoting, supporting and guiding individuals, groups and communities who are grappling with challenges surrounding freedom of conscience; who are dealing with emotional struggles, social and cultural subordination, violence, and feelings of submission that often afflict them.
  • Vision
    We act for and with people, regardless of their beliefs or deep personal inspirations—so long as these are not imposed on others. We seek a world where people live, act, and work with genuine self-awareness in acceptance of others, in a spirit of mutual respect and support.
  • Strategy
    We welcome and support individuals or groups who come to Article 18 seeking ways to address issues they actually or could possibly face—through guidance and active awareness-raising.
