CJFE is a volunteer-driven organization that has devoted itself to defending and protecting freedom of expression for over 40 years, and is the only organization in Canada advocating for the rights and freedoms of the media both abroad and in Canada. We work with organizations and individuals around the world to protect and preserve the right to free expression for all and we’re a member of a network of 24 International organizations led by the International Free Expression eXchange (IFEX) to: 1. Provide assistance to journalists and media workers whose lives or careers are threatened because of their work. 2. Share information, coordinate joint efforts to avoid duplication.
