Our members societies work worldwide to raise awareness of voluntary assisted dying
Around 350 million people around the world are fortunate in having some form of right to die legislation to call upon if their personal situation requires it.
However, the fight continues to extend that right to everyone else. With more than 30 years of reliable data available which underlines the safety and efficacy of voluntary assisted dying, the Federation works with local organisations to support activists, educate parliamentarians and provide expert knowledge wherever it is needed.
