The International Day of Democracy provides an opportunity to review the state of democracy in the world. Democracy is as much a process as a goal, and only with the full participation of and support by the international community, national governing bodies, civil society and individuals, can the ideal of democracy be made into a reality to be enjoyed by everyone, everywhere.
Freedom of expression is a fundamental human right, enshrined in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. But around the world, there are governments and those wielding power who find many ways to obstruct it.
As we commemorate the International Day of Democracy in 2024, Better Internet for Kids advocates for a better internet experience for children and young people. This involves creating digital literacy resources for teachers and educators, supporting fact-checking initiatives, and fostering safe online spaces for the young generation.
