Preserving freedom of association

Description

Preserving freedom of association involves safeguarding individuals’ and groups’ rights to form, join, and participate in organizations, unions, or assemblies without undue interference. Essential actions include enacting and enforcing legal protections, monitoring violations, supporting civil society initiatives, and providing remedies for suppression or discrimination. This strategy aims to counteract restrictive laws, intimidation, and harassment, thereby ensuring diverse participation, collective advocacy, and the healthy functioning of democratic and social institutions.
