About

“Index on Censorship helped me when it seemed impossible to return to journalism after fleeing Afghanistan. Their support gave me stability, helped me secure asylum, and gave me my voice back."

If the world feels like a scary place right now, it’s because it is.

In 2025, the assault on free expression isn’t subtle - it’s brazen, global and growing.

From the USA to China and Russia to Iran, democracy isn’t dying in darkness - it is being picked apart in broad daylight. Across the world powerful forces are twisting speech to serve their agendas and crushing dissent in the process.

But we have good news. Here at Index, our pages proudly hold space for the stories - and storytellers - that would be otherwise silenced. Through our award-winning journalism, impactful campaigns and dynamic events, your support helps us to expose abuses, amplify silenced voices and defend freedom of expression worldwide.

With your support, we shine a light where others don’t. We investigate. We publish. We stand with those risking everything to speak out. We refuse to be silent. Will you?

Index on Censorship is a UK charity that relies on your donations to fight for free expression. Support free expression. Donate now.

Index on Censorship relies on your donations to fight for free expression - Index on Censorship

£10 per month helps us respond quickly to changing situations and put pressure on those in power, so that artists, writers and campaigners know they’re not alone.

£20 per month lets us publish censored writers from around the world, so their stories are not erased.

£50 per month enables us to support our international network of frontline journalists, artists and human rights defenders under threat, so they can keep speaking.

£100 per month funds investigative journalism into the hardest to reach stories of free expression abuses, unearthing stories that would otherwise go unreported.
