How can you see the truth
when it cannot be told?

Issue.

In 2013, approximately half of the world’s population is still denied access to free information. Each day, journalists are kidnapped, arrested or go missing in areas of the world where freedom of information is restricted.

Idea.

In January 2013, RSF launched Voiceless Eyes, a unique digital experience enabling users to discover a previously unreleased set of international reporters’ pictures. After a few seconds, the users are asked to hide their mouth with their hand, a symbolic gesture for censorship and lack of freedom of speech.

Results.

— 150k users from 39 countries.
— +26% followers on Social Media.
— +17% users on rsf.org.
