What we do

Freedom of expression and information are fundamental human rights that are central to freedom and democracy. ARTICLE 19 is campaigning with people around the world to exercise these rights. 

ARTICLE 19 creates and facilitates campaigns around the world. We provide legal knowledge and representation to those who require it, gather information and share our knowledge.

The right to freedom of expression plays a critical role in tackling the underlying causes of poverty and is the most potent force for the strengthening of peace and the pre-emption of conflict.

Once freedom of expression is lost, all other freedoms fall.
