​Hi, I’m Lala, Marketing & Communications Manager at Campaign, and I’d like to share a story with you. My journey into the world of promoting Freedom of Religion or Belief (FORB) started unexpectedly.

It all began at an annual learning event with Asia REF, where we explored the state of FORB in different countries. Those three days were eye-opening.

But amidst the world’s conflicts and divisions, something incredible was unfolding. It was driven by the unique spirit of Generation Z and millennials.

They weren’t just dreaming of peace, unity, and protecting FORB; they were taking action, using the superpower of social media to lead a heartwarming peace revolution. These young leaders, comprising over 30% of the global population, were driving this positive change.

I vividly remember sitting in a small room, surrounded by young creators from diverse backgrounds, sharing their stories of struggle and resilience. 

One young woman, who had overcome religious discrimination in her own community, spoke passionately about the need for unity. Her story of transformation left a lasting impact on me, fueling my commitment to this cause.

Generation Z, born between 1997 and 2012, and millennials, born between 1981 and 1996, are leading a new era. Their shared values, digital skills, and global connections empower them to advocate for peace and religious freedom like never before.

In this article, I’ll take you on a meaningful journey by sharing stories that have profoundly shaped my perspective on the significance of promoting Freedom of Religion or Belief (FORB).
