Cartoons for Freedom of Expression - World Press Freedom Day 2023
For the 30th anniversary of World Press Freedom Day, UNESCO and Cartooning for Peace launch a campaign that talks about the importance of freedom of expression in guaranteeing human rights. Because we cannot defend our rights to free expression, education, health, equal access to justice without a free press that exposes abuses and provides information to assert our rights.
Special guest: The New Yorker
As the global celebration of the World Press Freedom Day takes place in the UN Headquarters in New York, this year, UNESCO and Cartooning for Peace are proud to invite The New Yorker as a special guest sharing a selection of cartoons in line with the Day's theme: Shaping a Future of Rights, Freedom of expression as an enabler of other rights.
Download them in different languages and share in your social media networks!

If what we say and what we think is dictated, silenced or controlled we have no freedom of expression.
Without freedom of expression, we cannot enjoy #humanrights such as freedom of speech, belief and freedom from fear.

COST.
Without #PressFreedom, our human rights are in freefall.
So that our rights don't slip through our fingers, let's cling to free and independent journalism.

Imagine not being able to say what you think,
that there are words that cannot be written,
that there are thoughts that cannot be expressed.
On #WorldPressFreedomDay, defend freedom of expression to defend human rights.

Without journalists to reveal the stories of difficult conditions that migrants and refugees face for a better quality of life, it would be difficult to draw attention to the need to respect their rights.

My rule is no screens after 11:00PM, unless democracy and fundamental rights are at stake.
