INDIAN JOURNALISTS’ LEGAL DEFENCE FORUM

Freedom Without Fear

OUR MISSION

To defend and empower journalists across India by providing legal aid, ensuring press freedom, resisting censorship, and promoting ethical, fearless journalism.

We aim to create a protective legal ecosystem for media professionals who speak truth to power. We believe journalism is the cornerstone of democracy—and that it must be safeguarded through timely legal intervention, advocacy, and public education.

OUR VISION

  • Establish a nationwide legal safety net for journalists under threat.
  • Advocate for systemic legal reforms that decriminalize journalistic work.
  • Develop a whistleblower protection framework aligned with global standards.
  • Make India compliant with UNESCO’s and UN Human Rights guidelines on press freedom.
