It's been 36 years since our fight to defend freedom of expression began

This week, we celebrate our 36th birthday. Since 1987, ARTICLE 19 has worked to help build a world where all people can express themselves freely.

Throughout the years we have challenged attacks against freedom of expression, advocating good governance and supporting civil society in its efforts to ensure open, respectful and informed debate can flourish.

We defend expression for all. And when you donate to us, you’re helping to build a freer, fairer world.

This year, join our movement and act for freedom of expression.

Invest in your right to justice

What we've achieved since 1987

Here’s just some of the work we focus on...

Tackling hate speech

ARTICLE 19 has led a range of law and policy measures to counter speech that incites violence or poses a risk to people’s safety ’. In 2015 we launched Hate Speech Explained: A Toolkit, a guide on how to identify and counter hate speech while protecting freedom of expression and equality.

Freedom to Know

We help to set the standards for freedom of expression with a range of publications – from 1999's book The Public’s Right to Know, to our principles for freedom of information laws to our range of publications on censorship and its direct consequences to society.

Freedom to Speak

From our first campaign in 1989 calling for the protection of author Salman Rushdie to the recent joint celebration supporting Rushdie's work in light of the appalling attack on him in 2022, we champion people’s right to express their ideas freely and safely.
