Organization Description: Humanists International is the global representative body at the heart of the humanist movement. Inspired by humanist values, we are optimistic for a world where everyone can have a dignified and fulfilling life. We build, support and represent the global humanist movement and work to champion human rights and secularism. We support democracy, human rights, and the rule of law.
Humanists Brazil has taken a step towards promoting humanism in the country with the release of a 20,000-word Portuguese publication which serves as an introductory guide to humanism.
The e-book is available for free and aims to clear up widespread misconceptions about humanism in Brazil.
In Brazil, humanism is often confused with “Catholic humanism” or “humanistic psychology”. This e-book aims to resolve these misunderstandings by providing clear and accurate information about humanism and the mission of Humanists Brazil. By educating the public, Humanists Brazil hopes to foster a better understanding of its organizational values and goals.
The e-book has already been downloaded 24 times as of writing. One reader has volunteered to translate the book into two additional languages, and the owner of a major Brazilian atheism website, inspired by the e-book, proposed a collaboration to further spread the message.

Jonas Felipe Abreu de Sousa, Southeast Director of Humanists Brazil, commented:
“These first results are a success.”
“Usually, people interact very little with our page, so 24 downloads in 3 months is considerably high. As it’s a book, we expect the return to be muchslower.
