IFEX is making a difference worldwide
During a period when the terms ‘record-breaking’ and ‘unprecedented’ too often describe negative developments in our world, and when polarization and divisiveness are on the ascent, the IFEX network demonstrated solidarity, support, compassion, and understanding. In 2024 we countered extraordinary efforts to undermine the free expression and information rights we promote and defend, as well as attacks directed at our own abilities to do this work.
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
Artificial intelligence is disrupting journalism, boosting efficiency and data analysis while also exacerbating threats and disinformation. The IFEX network is ready for the challenge.
