In your country, are you allowed to protest? Get your news from a free press? Join a political movement or a cause?
If you answered yes to all 3 questions, you are part of the lucky 3% of people that live in countries where governments properly respect your civic freedoms
The CIVICUS Monitor has today released People Power Under Attack 2019, a new report showing that the fundamental freedoms of association, peaceful assembly and expression are backsliding across the world. In the space of a year, twice as many people are living in countries where these civic freedoms are being violated: 40% of the world’s population now live in repressed countries – last year it was 19%.
The report, which is based on data from the CIVICUS Monitor, a global research collaboration, shows that civil society is under attack in most countries.
