<p>Since 2018, the FCO has allocated more than £1 million for Freedom of Religion
or Belief (FoRB) projects through the Magna Carta Fund for human rights. This included
projects to combat intolerance and encourage respect among individuals of different
faiths, beliefs and those of no belief. Following the Bishop of Truro's independent
Review of FCO Support for Persecuted Christians, we also launched the John Bunyan
Fund for FoRB, through which we funded 15 research projects that looked at the challenges
facing different communities, including Christians, Yazidis and Humanists. John Bunyan
Fund projects also looked at cross-cutting issues such as migration and the double
vulnerability experienced by women from minority faith backgrounds. Programme funding
allocations for financial year 2020-2021 are yet to be confirmed.</p>
