IFJ, also known as the International Federation of Journalists, is the global voice of journalists. With a history dating back to 1926, IFJ is the world's largest organization of journalists, representing 600,000 media professionals from 187 trade unions and associations across more than 140 countries. IFJ plays a crucial role in advocating for journalists' rights and ensuring fair pay, decent working conditions, and the defense of labor rights.

The organization actively promotes international action to defend press freedom, social justice, and gender equality through strong, independent trade unions of journalists. IFJ also opposes discrimination and condemns the use of media for propaganda or promoting intolerance and conflict. Furthermore, IFJ strongly believes in freedom of political and cultural expression.

The organization does not align itself with any specific political viewpoint but supports collective action to defend human rights, democracy, and media pluralism. IFJ stands behind journalists and their unions in their fight for industrial and professional rights, providing support through initiatives such as the International Safety Fund, which offers humanitarian aid to journalists in need.
