The 2020 annual State of Civil Society Report analyses key events and trends impacting on civil society, and civil society responses to the major challenges of the day. The ninth edition of our report focuses on the main trends from 2019. This report is about, from and for civil society, drawing on 50 interviews with civil society activists, leaders and experts, as well as CIVICUS’s ongoing research, analysis and advocacy programmes.
- A growing number of people are living in ‘closed’, ‘repressed’ and ‘obstructed’ countries
- Downgraded countries include the USA, Philippines, Guinea, Slovenia, and Iraq
- Top violations include: detention of protesters, censorship and attacks on journalists
- Freedoms of speech, association and peaceful assembly deteriorated during COVID-19
The fundamental freedoms of association, peaceful assembly and expression continue to deteriorate across the world, according to a new report released today by the CIVICUS Monitor, a research collaboration that tracks fundamental freedoms in 196 countries. The new report, People Power Under Attack 2020, shows the number of people living in countries with significant civic space restrictions continues to increase year on year.
