Short description: Civil society organizations are increasingly targeted by official narratives which undermine their work. Those at the frontline of seeking social change are often depicted as “corrupt”, “money-oriented” or “enemies of the State”, especially in populist rhetoric. This has very real and negative repercussions on the work of civil society, ranging from public distrust and hostility to cuts in public funding, violent attacks, and criminalization.
