Liberty · Equality · Fraternity

Le Droit Humain (LDH) is an international co-Masonic Order founded in 1893 on the principle of equality. From its beginnings, it challenged the exclusion of women from Freemasonry, establishing a tradition of shared Masonic work on equal terms.

Through ritual, symbolism, and thoughtful inquiry, LDH encourages moral, intellectual, and spiritual development in the service of humanity. Its members bring diverse backgrounds and philosophical perspectives to a common commitment to liberty, equality, fraternity, and social justice. The Order respects freedom of conscience, professes no religious dogma, and does not require belief in a Supreme Being.

In the United States, LDH’s American Federation forms part of this international Order.
Its lodges bring members together for ritual work, study, and fellowship, connecting personal development with responsibility toward others.
