The humanist movement was launched in the late 1960s and has now reached more than 100 countries. It has given rise to thousands of projects and initiatives — from neighborhood and cultural groups, to volunteer health clinics and schools, campaigns for disarmament, local and regional Humanist Forums, and Humanist political parties — all guided by the image of building a Universal Human Nation, a world without wars, and based on non-violence, the convergence of diversity, and progress for all human beings.
