Unie Vrijzinnige Verenigingen (UVV), the Flemish umbrella organisation for Humanism in Belgium, is celebrating its 35th year this year. A report on some of the achievements of this IHEU Member Organisation.

Unie Vrijzinnige Verenigingen was founded on the 31st of March 1971 as a non-profit organisation. Unie Vrijzinnige Verenigingen wanted to offer a sympathetic ear to anyone who needed one and as such focused much of its attention on achieving this goal. UVV wanted to lay the foundations for moral assistance and for the creation of moral counsellors who would be at the service of the entire population. Counsellors would be readily available for anyone wanting to talk to them, or for anyone wanting to consult with them for help with different problems.

The Executive Committee of the International Humanist & Ethical Union at the annual meeting in Antwerp, Belgium, strongly supports the efforts of Dr Willy Peers of Namur for abortion law reform in Belgium.

We urge that all charges against competent medical workers practising abortion be dropped and that all restrictive abortion laws be rescinded.

We are committed to the sanctity of life and the worth and dignity of every person and therefore believe in the right of every woman to choose abortion under medical control, if she so desires.
