This ICNL analysis discusses on online gender-based violence and it's impact on women human rights defenders across the Indo-Pacific region, specifically Cambodia, India, Malaysia, Nepal, and Thailand.

The Fundamental Freedoms Monitoring Project, which began in 2016, examines and evaluates the extent to which the freedoms of association, expression and assembly are exercised in Cambodia.

To get a full picture of how COVID-19 measures have impacted civil society in the Asia-Pacific region, ICNL conducted a survey in December 2020 to assess government practices. We received responses from organizations in 14 countries across the region.

This Radio Free Asia article discusses the findings from the 4th  Fundamental Freedoms Monitoring Project (FFMP).

Made up of more than 40 countries, Asia defies easy categorization. On the one hand, many countries are home to vibrant civil society sectors. On the other hand, in too many countries, state regulatory controls on civil society are becoming increasingly restrictive.

In this issue of the Civic Freedom Digest, ICNL highlights some of the key challenges and opportunities for civic freedoms across the Asia-Pacific region.

Our 2018-2019 annual report aims to highlight the progress civil society is making to counter restrictions and expand civic space.

In October of 2017, months before Cambodia’s national elections, the government released a new rule requiring prior permission from any civil society or nonprofit organization wishing to hold a public event.

In this inaugural publication of the Civic Freedom Digest, ICNL highlights some of the key challenges that digital technologies pose to civic freedom, as well as successful civil society efforts to combat these threats.
