Understand

Annual assessment

Not on the World Watch List 2026 list.

This collection rates the countries on that list and does not rate the rest. That does not mean Christians there face no pressure.

Annual persecution assessments, mission reach and religious freedom for all faiths are different measures. This page shows only the first, when cleared.
