A press cartoon awareness campaign
For the 30th anniversary of World Press Freedom Day, this year under the theme “Shaping a Future of Rights, Freedom of Expression as a Catalyst for Other Rights”, UNESCO and Cartooning for Peace are launching a campaign that reminds us of the importance of freedom of expression to guarantee human rights. For, as UNESCO reminds us, “we cannot defend our rights to freedom of expression, education, health and equal access to justice without a free press that denounces abuses and provides information to assert our rights.
UNESCO and Cartooning for Peace are delighted to have the New Yorker as a special guest in this campaign.
