Freedom House

Freedom House is an organization that rates countries around the world to tell us how much freedom people living there have. They look at things like if people in a country can vote and choose who makes decisions in the government, if they can say what they want without getting in trouble, and if they can get and keep a job. A score of 1 means a country has a lot of freedom, and a score of 7 means a country doesn't have much freedom. That way, we can see which countries have more freedom and which countries have less freedom so we can help everyone have more freedom.
