Freedom House's flagship publication Freedom in the Worldis the standard-setting comparative assessment of global political rights and civil liberties. Our research and analysis frame the policy debate in the United States and abroad on the progress and decline of freedom.

Our Researchįreedom House produces research and reports on a number of core thematic issues related to democracy, political rights and civil liberties. Working as an independent watchdog organization dedicated to the expansion of freedom and democracy around the world, Freedom House is notable for its nonpartisan character and commitment to maintaining support for its mission among members of both major US political parties. We speak out against the main threats to democracy and empower citizens to exercise their fundamental rights through a unique combination of analysis, advocacy, and direct support to frontline defenders of freedom, especially those working in closed authoritarian societies. Founded in 1941, Freedom House was the first American organization to champion the advancement of freedom globally.

Emergency Assistance and Thematic Programsįreedom House is founded on the core conviction that freedom flourishes in democratic nations where governments are accountable to their people the rule of law prevails and freedoms of expression, association, and belief, as well as respect for the rights of women, minority communities, and historically marginalized groups, are guaranteed.
