2025: No ordinary year
Unprecedented threats tested freedom of expression and information rights everywhere: funding cuts, restrictive legislation, toxic online environments, escalating conflicts. Yet the IFEX network answered with collective power. From winning legal battles to protect independent media, shielding leaders under siege, and forging connections that turned crisis into opportunities. Discover how the diversity and reach of the network advanced the work in ways only collective action can.
Advancing press freedom together
Across the globe, IFEX members are doing the vital work of defending journalists, equipping them with the tools and skills they need, and confronting the forces that silence them. IFEX exists to support that work: connecting organizations across borders, sharing knowledge, opening doors to advocacy spaces, and channelling resources to where they are needed most.
IFEX Collaboration Project
By developing action-oriented tools and frameworks, IFEX is helping civil society organisations strengthen collaboration, challenge power imbalances, and build the foundations for more just and inclusive collective work.
Meeting the AI moment
