Human life, naturally, holds an inherent sanctity that transcends all boundaries of culture, faith, and tradition. From the first breath of an infant to the final stages of life, each person embodies a sacred spark worthy of honor, respect, and protection. Childhood, as the most tender and formative stage of this journey, represents purity, potential, and the untouched essence of our shared humanity. Safeguarding the innocence of children is not only a moral responsibility but a profound acknowledgment of the divine presence within all human beings. As we strive for greater understanding and advancement, this commitment is not only essential for the well-being of our societies but for the dignity of humanity itself—on Earth and beyond. Religious teachings, doctrines, and laws must evolve to reflect the universal moral duty of protecting children, ensuring that no belief or tradition justifies their harm or exploitation.

With this understanding, we, the undersigned—representing a spectrum of spiritual and religious traditions—stand united in purpose and commitment. The Interfaith Moral Amendment is a call to shared responsibility, found by common conscience, bound by moral duty, united in cause for children, transcending differences to protect what is universally precious: the unblemished spirit of every child. We resoundingly reject as false doctrine any aspect of religious, cultural, or traditional teachings that allow for the exploitation, harm, or abuse of children. No belief system or cultural practice can justify the violation of a child's inherent dignity, and it is the moral responsibility of all to confront and reform such harmful ideologies wherever they are found.
