Thanks to your donation, Cartooning for Peace can continue its work:
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.
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.
Defending cartoonists under threat is one of the association’s main missions. Alongside the list of historically repressive countries, such as China, Iran and Cuba, numerous other countries are gradually being added to the list where press cartoonists are under threat: Turkey, India, Egypt, etc. In the United States, press freedom is under threat due to Donald Trump’s repeated attacks on the media. And in Russia, the last remaining critical cartoonists have been forced to put down their pencils or flee the country. In areas of armed conflict such as Ukraine, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Sudan, some cartoonists find their lives under threat. Palestine has become the most dangerous country in the world for journalists. At a time when press freedom and freedom of expression are under particular attack, Cartooning for Peace continues to support press cartoonists by standing by them, advising them on the steps they should take, and referring them, where necessary, to partner organisations. Depending on each situation, Cartooning for Peace may intervene through diplomatic channels or issue an alert.
