The European Humanist Federation (EHF, {{langx|fr|Fédération Humaniste Européenne, FHE}}), officially abbreviated as EHF-FHE, was an umbrella of more than 60 humanist and secularist organisations from 25 European countries.{{Cite web|url=https://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultation/displaylobbyist.do?id=84310943110-81&locale=en#en|title=European Humanist Federation|date=5 January 2015|work=Transparency Register|publisher=European Parliament / European Commission|accessdate=12 March 2015}}{{Cite web |url=https://humanistfederation.eu/who-we-are/members/ |title=Members |work=EHF website |publisher=European Humanist Federation |accessdate=8 October 2014}}

Founded in Prague in July 1991, the EHF was based in Brussels, where it employed a small team of staff focused on European Union policy advocacy and capacity-building in European humanist organisations. Its advocacy activities are primarily focused on the European Parliament, European Commission, and other bodies associated with the European Union and Council of Europe, as part of its mission to promote a humanist vision of Europe. It was the largest umbrella organisation of humanist associations in Europe,[https://humanistfederation.eu/who-we-are/members/ Member Organisations] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121112203955/http://humanistfederation.eu/about-ehf/member-organisations/ |date=2012-11-12 }} European Humanist Federation's Member organisations promoting a secular Europe, defending equal treatment of everyone regardless of religion or belief, and fighting religious conservatism and privilege in Europe and at the European Union level. It closely collaborated with alongside Humanists International for much of its existence. When it dissolved in 2022, its activities had largely been taken over by Humanists International.

The EHF was the parent body of the European Humanist Professionals (EHP), which networks humanist celebrants, humanist pastoral carers, school speakers and educators, and the staff of the various European humanist associations into one professional body, focused on building best practice and expanding the availability of humanist charitable services across Europe. This work became part of Humanists International's European Capacity Building and Networking Project, which was from 2024 transformed to the European Humanist Services Network (EHSN).[https://humanistservices.eu/ European Humanist Services Network (EHSN). Retrieved 7 February 2024]

Goals

The EHF promotes a secular state and opposes lobbying by religious organisations towards European institutions. The EHF aims to:

  • Achieve separation between religion and the state throughout Europe;{{Cite web |url=http://www.humanistfederation.eu/our-position.php?page=secular-europe |title=A secular Europe |work=EHF website |publisher=EHF |accessdate=27 September 2014}}
  • Defend freedom of religion and belief, which includes the right not to believe and the right to change one's belief;{{Cite web |url=http://www.humanistfederation.eu/our-position.php?page=human-rights |title=Humanists stand for human rights |work=EHF website |publisher=EHF |accessdate=27 September 2014}}
  • Defend freedom of thought and speech, which implies opposition to laws prohibiting "blasphemy";
  • Promote non-discrimination on all grounds (ethnic or national origin, religion and belief, disability, age, gender, sexual orientation, etc.), inspired by the EHF's humanistic conviction that all men and women are born free and equal;
  • Support women's sexual and reproductive health and rights when and where they are threatened.

Actions

The EHF was recognised as an official partner of the European Union (EU) under Article 17 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). It is therefore regularly invited to meet the Presidents of the Commission, the European Parliament and the European Council. The EHF also participates in meetings of the European Parliament Platform for Secularism in Politics (EPPSP).{{Cite web |url=http://politicsreligion.eu/advisory-board/ |title=Advisory Board |work=EPPSP website |publisher=European Parliament Platform for Secularism in Politics |accessdate=2 October 2014}} At the EU level, it also works with the European External Action Service (EEAS) and the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA), whilst also collaborating with the Council of Europe and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).

=Examples of EHF campaigns=

  • Sexual and Reproductive Rights ARE Human Rights{{Cite web |url=http://www.humanistfederation.eu/news-fhe.php?pages=sexual-and-reproductive-rights-are-human-rights-support-the-estrela-report |title=Joint Statement by civil society organisations calling on MEPs to support the Estrela Report on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights |work=EHF website |publisher= |date=6 December 2013 |accessdate=2 October 2014}}
  • EU Guidelines on Freedom of Religion and Beliefs: Securing a Balanced and Secular Approach
  • Keep Dogma Out of European Research
  • Opposing Tonio Borg's nomination at European Commission
  • No to Special Rights for Churches in the EU

The EHF also supports its 63 member organisations in the challenges they are facing at a domestic level and works in partnership with a large network of associations – including progressive religious organisations{{Cite news |title=Catholics Join European NGOs Coalition in Appeal to Convention Not to Give Religion Unfair Influence in Constitutional Treaty |work=U.S. Newswire |publisher=PR Newswire |date=22 May 2003 }} – with whom it shared goals and interests, in order to oppose conservative religious lobbies across Europe.

= ''A Vision for Europe'' and the Brussels Declaration =

As the centrepiece of their campaign A Vision for Europe, that strove to uphold secularism within the EU, the EHF, the IHEU and Catholics for Choice (endorsed by the EPPSPDuring the 2004–2009 parliamentary term, the EPPSP was known as "European Parliament all-party group on Separation of Religion and Politics".) jointly presented the "Brussels Declaration" on 27 February 2007 in the European Parliament, and also addressed to the 27 EU heads of government. It was widely supported by European politicians (signed by more than 80 MEPs), academics, scientists, Nobel Prize winners, writers and journalists.{{Cite web |url=http://www.humanizm.net.pl/vision.htm |title=A Vision for Europe: Launch of the Brussels Declaration on Europe's Universal Values |author=International Humanist and Ethical Union, Catholics for a Free Choice, European Humanist Federation |work=Polish Humanist Association website |publisher=Polish Humanist Association |date=27 February 2007 |accessdate=10 October 2014}}{{Cite news |url=http://www.prnewswire.co.uk/news-releases/sakulare-werte-fur-europa-brusseler-erklarung-zu-wurde-gleichheit-und-freiheit-153481705.html |title=Säkuläre Werte für Europa: Brüsseler Erklärung zu Würde, Gleichheit und Freiheit |work=PR Newswire Europe |date=27 February 2007 |accessdate=10 October 2014|language=de}}{{Cite news |url=http://vorige.nrc.nl/europa/article1773776.ece |title=Actie om Europese Unie te vrijwaren van religieuze invloeden |work=NRC Next |date=27 February 2007 |accessdate=10 October 2014|language=nl}} The Brussels Declaration was a response to the would-be Berlin Declaration, which, being negotiated at the time and set to become the preamble to the amended EU Constitution, contained references to God and the supposed "Christian roots of Europe". Eventually these references were left out, and a strong emphasis on individual rights and dignity included, much to the relief of David Pollock (former EHF president), Sophie in 't Veld (EPPSP chairwoman) and Roy W. Brown (former IHEU president), the last of whom called it "a victory for Secularism in Europe".{{Cite news |url=http://iheu.org/eu-berlin-declaration-victory-secularism/ |title=EU Berlin Declaration "a victory for Secularism" |work=IHEU website |publisher=International Humanist and Ethical Union |date=26 March 2007 |accessdate=10 October 2014}}
