Podcast | Anti-Rights Movements

The Global Assault on Civil Society: Who’s Silencing NGOs and Activists? Eurochild launches a campaign to fight anti-rights movements.

In this 5th episode of the Eurochild podcast, we talk about the shrinking space for NGOs. Across Europe and around the world, attacks on humanitarian workers, activists, journalists, and civil society organisations are on the rise. Populist movements are gaining ground, fuelled by government-led smear campaigns, censorship, funding cuts, and a flood of disinformation. Hate and distrust toward democratic institutions are spreading.

The podcast is available on Apple PodcastsSpotify and SoundCloud.

Read more about the campaign.
