#TikTok is more than viral memes, viral beauty trends or giving a #GenZ perspective on the news.
It also has a sinister side where it’s being used by pimps to target minors for #prostitution networks.

Journalism shapes peace.
Access to reliable, verified information is not optional; it is fundamental to building peaceful, just and resilient societies.
When information is manipulated, it fuels division and erodes trust.
When it is free and truthful, it strengthens accountability, fosters dialogue and upholds human rights.
On #WorldPressFreedomDay, @UNESCO calls for the protection of freedom of expression and support for journalism as a pillar of peace.
