In #Ukraine, the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) surged in the wake of Russia's invasion. IREX took a stance by helping establish IDP Councils. Councils advocate for IDP rights, develop policies, and provide a platform for dialogue and cooperation. https://bit.ly/3OZUi0v

In 2024, billions of people will participate in elections that will significantly impact people’s lives and the future of democracy worldwide. However, false narratives, conspiracy theories, and baseless claims of election fraud pose a global threat, eroding trust in democracy and threatening the safety of citizens, journalists, elections workers, and political candidates, especially women in politics. To help mitigate the impact of these risks, we created a guide to provide practical lessons, activities, and resources that cover the entire electoral cycle, addressing the evolving information landscape, the role of media in elections, cognitive biases, and strategies to identify and combat misinformation. We are delighted to share this resource to foster a more informed and engaged electorate, ultimately strengthening information integrity and democratic processes around the world.
