Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) is a human rights organisation which specialises in religious freedom, works on behalf of those persecuted for their Christian beliefs and promotes religious liberty for all. Its current president is Jonathan Aitken, having taken over from Baroness Cox (who remains its patron) in 2006 ^[1]. The organisation also helps people of Non-Christian faith in Burma.^[2]

Christian Solidarity Worldwide is independent of any government or political persuasion, and works on behalf of those suffering for their Christian beliefs and promotes religious liberty for all.^[3]

As an advocacy organisation, CSW aims to influence governments and other bodies on religious freedom issues to ensure that the voice of the persecuted is heard in the international arena.^[4]

Through its various resources, events and initiatives, CSW also aims to mobilise the general public to pray, protest and provide on behalf of persecuted Christians. By doing so, CSW and its supporters stand in the gap to provide solidarity and support to those in need.^[5]
