The Global Expression Report (GxR) is an annual look at the right to free expression and information across the world.
The GxR metric tracks freedom of expression across 161 countries via 25 indicators to create a score between 0 and 100 for every country. That score places it in an expression category.
The report also measures how free each and every person is to express, communicate, and participate in society. This includes the freedom to post online, take to the streets, investigate, and access the information needed to keep leaders accountable. It also measures whether people can do this without fear of harassment, legal repercussions, or violence.
