World Press Freedom Day
3 May, 2021
The anniversary of the Declaration of Windhoek is celebrated annually and worldwide as World Press Freedom Day. This Day is for governments to continue their commitment to press freedom, to reflect on issues of press freedom and professional ethics, to defend the media from attacks on their independence and to pay tribute to journalists who have lost their lives in the line of duty. Freedom of speech is recognised as an aspiration of common people in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The host of the 2021 World Press Freedom Day is Namibia, the birthplace of the Windhoek Declaration 30 years ago on 3rd May 1991.
