An older woman standing on a street in London holds a hand-written sign "Journalism is not a crime". Superimposed is the question "Will you defend media freedom?"

Freedom of the press is under fire across the globe – including in one of the oldest democracies in the world.

The moment media becomes an instrument of state approval, it serves no one.

Now is the time to speak out. Will you defend media freedom?

Unregulated data gathering serves dual purposes: corporate profits & governmental surveillance. Free-market rhetoric acts as a cover. But data sovereignty requires robust protection. Digital justice demands nothing less.

Gender justice is founded on communication justice – but women are only 26% of people seen, heard or spoken about in the news media. How are you taking action to defend women’s communication rights?

#CommunicationRights #WomensVoices #IWD2026 #GMMP @unwomen.bsky.social

Climate change is the most pressing & complex challenge of our times. It demands a response that puts communication rights at the center.

A group of children hunched over cell phones huddles under an umbrella that shields them from pouring rain with various social media icons such as like and love. A man resembling Elon Musk, wearing a black T-shirt with the X logo glares menacingly at the main holding the umbrella. The scene is dark and foreboding.

Tech regulation isn't a question of "if" anymore, but "how”. Big Tech has prioritized engagement and ad dollars over people for too long. But we need safe, inclusive, and democratic social media. More in the last #waccComment: bit.ly/Comment-9Feb26
