UNESCO promotes freedom of expression and press freedom as a basic human right. Every year, World Press Freedom Day provides an opportunity to affirm the importance of freedom of expression and press freedom. Furthermore, by providing policy advice and developing networks, it encourages governments to develop standards and legislative instruments to defend this principle.
UNESCO also provides direct support to independent and pluralistic media, especially supporting public service broadcasting and community media.
A key part of UNESCO’s strategy lies in promoting access to information and knowledge through a range of activities. These include creating information and communication technology training opportunities, in particular for women and young people.
