Dear John,
Today we published Freedom in the World 2023
[link removed]
, the 50th edition of our flagship report, and the data shows that the desire for freedom is enduring.
While 2022 was marred by external and internal attacks on democratic institutions, it was also a year during which democracies banded together to assert the importance of human rights at international institutions. The gap between the number of countries that improved and those that deteriorated was the narrowest it has ever been since the negative trend first began in 2006.
Human rights defenders worldwide have repeatedly taken to the streets to defend their rights. Now, democratic governments and civil society must dramatically ramp up support to all on the front lines of defending freedom, whether in Ukraine, Iran, El Salvador, or Thailand.
These efforts will help ensure that the next 50 years bring more freedoms than the last.
