Stand with Suffering and Persecuted Christians in the Middle East

Add Your Voice to Call for Aid and Protection for Those Suffering for Their Faith.

Why This Petition Matters

For centuries, Christians in the Middle East have lived in the land where their faith began. Today, they face relentless persecution, targeted simply for their beliefs. They endure violence, discrimination, and displacement. Churches are destroyed, families are torn apart, and entire communities are forced to flee.

In regions such as Iraq and Syria, Christian populations have plummeted. Once-thriving communities are on the brink of extinction. This is a global issue, and we must act now to protect these vulnerable groups.

Together, we can urge the Australian Government to step up and ensure that aid and support reach those who need it most.

Who We Are

We are a faith-based not-for-profit Catholic organisation committed to supporting persecuted Christians around the world, and keeping the flame of faith alive. Guided by compassion and the belief in human dignity, we work to provide aid and advocate for those suffering for their faith.

What We’re Asking For

We are calling on the Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs to:

  • Increase humanitarian aid to displaced Christian communities.
  • Advocate for the protection of religious minorities in international forums.
  • Support peacebuilding initiatives in the Middle East to safeguard these communities.

Your voice can help bring hope, protection, and lasting change.

Sign the petition today and stand in solidarity with those suffering for their faith.

Dear Penny Wong

Minister for Foreign Affairs
Senate
Parliament House

I am deeply concerned about the ongoing suffering and persecution of the minority population of Christians in the Middle East, who possess ancient connections to their homeland there. I urge you to take immediate action by providing increased aid, advocating for religious freedom, and supporting peacebuilding efforts to protect these vulnerable communities.

Sincerely,

Aid to the Church in Need
