Campaigns and Advocacy
IFEX works with its members by creating and participating in advocacy coalitions and working groups and releasing joint statements and petitions.
The Tunisia Monitoring Group (IFEX-TMG), launched in 2004 by 21 IFEX members to raise awareness of censorship and other human rights violations in Tunisia is IFEX's largest campaign to date.
In 2011, IFEX launched the International Day to End Impunity, marked annually on 23 November. In a report to the Human Rights Council, UN Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression, Frank La Rue welcomed IFEX's declaration of the day.

Famous quotes containing the word campaigns:
“That food has always been, and will continue to be, the basis for one of our greater snobbisms does not explain the fact that the attitude toward the food choice of others is becoming more and more heatedly exclusive until it may well turn into one of those forms of bigotry against which gallant little committees are constantly planning campaigns in the cause of justice and decency.”
—Cornelia Otis Skinner (1901–1979)
