The United Nations Alliance of Civilization (UNAOC) has released the first edition of a ****#forSafeWorship Update,** which has been collecting inspiring stories about places of worship around the world as shared symbols of our history, traditions, and humanity. 

UNAOC was [established in 2005](https://www.unaoc.org/who-we-are/history/?ref=iqra.ca) and maintains a global network of partners including states, international and regional organizations, civil society groups, foundations, and the private sector to improve cross-cultural relations between diverse nations and communities.

In March 2019, following the attacks against mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, the UN Secretary-General requested the High Representative for the UN Alliance of Civilizations to elaborate a Plan of Action to safeguard religious sites. 

The Plan is meant to provide a result-oriented framework for action with recommendations to help prevent possible attacks against religious sites and enhance preparedness and response.

The #forSafeWorship update advances UNAOC's *UN Plan of Action to Safeguard Religious Sites:* *In Unity and Solidarity for Safe and Peaceful Worship* and invites you to *s*hare your story and show how you stand #forSafeWorship.

The Parliament of the World's Religions is an NGO associated with the [United Nations Department of Global Communications](https://www.un.org/en/department-global-communications?ref=iqra.ca), a steadfast supporter of safe worship, and the safety of sacred spaces. Want to get involved in the #forSafeWorship campaign? Join the Global Call to Action #forSafeWorship to celebrate the universality of religious sites as symbols of our shared humanity, history, and traditions.
