The global call to action #forSafeWorship aims to create personal, emotional connections with religious sites. It celebrates the universality of religious sites as symbols of our shared humanity, history, and traditions of people worldwide. It emphasizes the need to safeguard religious sites and underscores the role of individuals in protecting all sacred sites, regardless of religions or beliefs.

Mr. Miguel Moratinos, High Representative for UNAOC, issued a Call for Mutual Respect of all religions and beliefs and for fostering a culture of fraternity and peace. The text re-affirms that acts of violence should not be associated with any religion, nationality, civilization, or ethnic group and that violence should never be a justifiable or acceptable response to acts of intolerance on the basis of religion or belief.
