Healthy democracies depend on free, fair and informed societies 📢

#InternationalDayofDemocracy
ALT The tile reads: 'Protecting information integrity, human rights and civil society. Why these are crucial for democracy.' The photo shows a group of people at a protest.
ALT A quote from Will Church, Director of Media Freedom Programmes: “Information integrity is ultimately about protecting our shared reality. When people can access trusted information and make informed decisions, democracy is better able to withstand pressure and division.”
ALT A quote from Katie Fowler, Director of Responsible Business: “Labour rights aren’t just economic protections – they're civic infrastructure. When work is insecure and unaccountable, people lose faith in the democratic institutions that are meant to protect them.”
ALT A quote from Carolina Henriquez-Schmitz
Director of Access to Law: “Civil society is a crucial pillar of a healthy democracy. By protecting the organisations that hold power to account, defend human rights and give communities a voice, we strengthen democracy itself.”
📣 @trustconf returns on 4 - 5 November.
