Members of religious groups faced harassment by either governmental actors or social groups in a record number of countries and territories as a new Pew Research Center analysis finds acts of hostility against Christians are on the rise.

The research revealed that in 2022, "harassment of religious groups by governments or social actors occurred in 192 out of the world's 198 countries and territories." This constituted "an increase by two countries from 2021 and a new peak level for the study."
