Why donate to Cartooning for Peace?
International network of committed press cartoonists, who fight with humour for the respect of cultures and freedoms, Cartooning for Peace needs your support!
Thanks to your donation, Cartooning for Peace can continue its work:
- Promotion of press cartoons – Since its inception, Cartooning for Peace has been promoting press cartoons as a tool for information and democratic debate among the general public. As a content editor, the organisation creates exhibitions, publications and regular editorial contributions in the media. As a forum for debate and ideas, it also organises events and conferences to bring together press cartoonists and the general public.
- Raising awareness through press cartoons – Cartooning for Peace has always placed education through and for press cartoons and education about freedom of expression and human rights at the heart of its approach. The organisation regularly works in schools, extra-curricular activities and prisons. It uses smiles to raise awareness of society’s major problems, using the strong educational value of press cartoons to free speech, create debate and develop critical thinking. The organisation is a recognised content publisher, specialised in education to media and information as well as education for citizenship and international solidarity. Cartooning for Peace supports press cartoonists and education professionals in teaching through press cartoons by providing training and tools.
- Support to threatened cartoonists – Defending threatened cartoonists is one of the organisation’s main missions. In addition to the list of historically repressive countries such as China, Iran and Cuba, there is a growing number of regimes where press cartoonists are under threat: Türkiye, Algeria, Afghanistan (with the return of the Taliban), Jordan, Bangladesh, Malaysia, the Philippines… And of course Mr Putin’s Russia, where the very last critical cartoonists have had to put down their pencils or flee the country. Current fears include the dangerously tightening vise in Russia, but also in India. At a time when the number of alerts is rising sharply, some have even been sounded in countries such as Hungary, a member of the European Union, and Tunisia. Depending on the situation, Cartooning for Peace may intervene through diplomatic channels or publish an alert. Cartooning for Peace supports threatened press cartoonists, advises them on the steps to take and directs them to partner organisations.
