CIVICUS has announced that the next edition of International Civil Society Week (ICSW) will take place in November 2025.
This year’s event, with the theme, ‘Celebrating Citizen Action: Reimagining Democracy, Rights, and Inclusion for Today’s World’, will honor activists, movements, and civil society organisations that have made significant strides, defended civic freedoms, and demonstrated remarkable resilience in the face of numerous challenges.
The event comes at a time when civic freedoms are being curtailed in most countries, with civil society under severe attack in 116 of 198 countries and territories. The world faces significant deterrents to freedoms of expression, association, and assembly.
