Indian civil society is “Repressed” according to the latest @CIVICUSMonitor watchlist, due to a “rapid deterioration in civic freedoms”. The rating is the 2nd lowest a country can receive from @CIVICUSalliance, a global body of civil society organizations in 175 countries

Canada should integrate civic space benchmarks into trade relationships, align development funding with long-term civil society resilience & use diplomatic leverage consistently when civic actors are targeted, writes Kate Higgins & Maiwand Rahyab #cdnpoli ipolitics.ca/2026/04/30/civi…
We are encouraged to see Canada’s leadership, as underscored by Minister @AnitaAnandMP, in recognizing civic space as a core pillar of foreign policy.
Civic space is critical infrastructure for democracy, human dignity, and effective humanitarian response. @RahyabMaiwand
The inaugural Civic Space Summit brought together hundreds of human rights defenders, civil society leaders, and philanthropists at a pivotal moment. Civic space is a core pillar of Canada’s foreign policy. We will defend it - and we will stand with those delivering humanitarian assistance where it is needed most.

Le tout premier Sommet sur l’espace civique a rassemblé des centaines de défenseurs des droits de la personne, de leaders de la société civile et de philanthropes à un moment charnière. L’espace civique est un pilier central de la politique étrangère du Canada. Nous allons le défendre et nous allons appuyer ceux qui fournissent de l’aide humanitaire là où les besoins sont les plus grands.
