IFEX’s 2023 Annual Report is packed with stories of creativity, compassion, and collaboration from our amazing/unique network.
This past year IFEX faced numerous challenges, but we continued to adapt, strengthening our dedication to defending freedom of expression and information.
The challenges aren’t going away anytime soon – but neither is IFEX!
Throughout 2023, IFEX provided crucial support to members under pressure, contributed to tackling gendered disinformation, and helped members empower youth participation at the global climate conference COP28. We also supported member initiatives documenting attacks on journalists, defending cartoonists’ rights, and addressing online platform abuse and disinformation.
