The International Order of Freemasonry for Men and Women, Le Droit Humain, fomerly known as The International Order of Co-Freemasonry, is worldwide. Membership is open to men and women, without distinction of ethnicity or personal beliefs. Our Order is founded on the ancient teachings and traditions of Freemasonry and works a system of initiatory continuity from the 1st to the 33rd degree inclusive of the Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite. The British Federation was founded in 1902 by Annie Besant; the Order in 1893.
The International Order of Freemasonry for Women and Men, Le Droit Humain, works to the glory of the Great Architect of the Universe and/or to the perfection of humanity. On an individual level, it strives " to promote the progress of individual worth, without the imposition of dogma, or exacting the abandonment of cultural or religious ideas". On a group level "it works to unite women and men who agree on a humanist spirituality whilst respecting individual and cultural differences".
Freemasonry is a pathway of initiation, free from dogma, inspired by the search for truth, an understanding of human consciousness - a science of the spirit. Masonic ritual and symbolism are the tools Freemasons use on that journey, whether this is their personal spiritual path towards the perfection of mankind; to liberty, equality and fraternity - human rights, Le Droit Humain.
