Its work encompasses reporting and monitoring global attacks on free speech, hosting events and debates on controversial issues, and engaging in advocacy to influence laws and policies surrounding expression. The organization situates itself within the civic and social sector, emphasizing the right to opinion and expression as outlined in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
