For Rabiatu, freedom of speech comes with both rights and responsibilities.

Citizens should be able to express themselves freely, but they must also take care to verify information before sharing it. At the same time, access to accurate information should not be a struggle. Institutions have a responsibility to be open and responsive so citizens can separate fact from misinformation.

Watch as Rabiatu shares her thoughts on free speech, responsible communication, and access to information.
