What is the IFJ Security Fund used for?

An NFT to help journalists in danger around the world.

Piasa and

, with the help of Coinhouse, are organizing the first auction of a non-fungible token in France on October 19.

The money from the sale will be donated to the security fund of the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ).

Why did you choose this organization?

The IFJ brings together national trade unions and associations and represents a total of 600,000 journalists around the world.

“As Secretary General of the IFJ, I represent the profession before the United Nations bodies when there are discussions on working conditions, salaries, health…, explains Anthony Bellanger.

Protecting journalists is my mission.

And as an International Federation, we have drawn up the world charter of ethics for journalists, ”he continues.

Adopted in 2019, it specifies the rights and duties of journalists in terms of ethics.

“Emergency physicians” in the profession

With the security fund, the IFJ sends, on average, 80,000 euros around the world every year to help journalists in the field.

Created in 1992, in parallel with the creation of the list of journalists killed to pay tribute to collateral victims of war, the security fund is “a lifeline for journalists under threat or in need”.

He helps families when they cannot pay for a journalist's funeral, he comes to the aid of injured or endangered reporters.

The auction will provide support to these “emergency physicians” in the profession.
