ABOUT US/CONTACT

Independent World Report is a global magazine of human rights journalism, published in print four times a year:

– Reportage and discussions on the state of rights, freedoms and liberties.
– Dedicated coverage of forgotten people and untold stories.
– Reader-supported through yearly subscriptions.

As a reader-supported magazine, Independent World Report champions the worldwide struggle for democracy and human rights by publishing reportage, opinion pieces, photo stories and essays on the state of rights, freedoms and liberties across the globe.

In oppressive societies (dictatorships/theocracies) or tyrannical settings (war/genocide/slavery), seven groups of people are most often the primary targets: women, children, ethnic/religious minorities, LGBT, refugees, writers/journalists, workers. The editorial mission of Independent World Report is to tell their stories.

Independent World Report is a magazine for global citizens who care and want to be informed about women in Afghanistan, or children in Uzbekistan, or religious minorities in Iran, or LGBT in Uganda, or refugees in Greece, or journalists in Syria, or workers in South Korea.

Also, a platform for those whose voices are often absent or ignored in the international media: a Sahrawi journalist writing from a refugee camp in Algeria, or a Nigerian human rights activist campaigning against religious oppression in Africa, or a Bosnian human rights activist in Denmark, or a Kurdish journalist covering the Turkish atrocities on her people.

Journalism at Independent World Report is supported by our subscribers. We have subscribers in thirteen countries: Sweden, South Africa, United States, Germany, India, Canada, Turkey, Bangladesh, Australia, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium.
