Independent World Report is a global briefing on human rights, international politics, peace and justice – a newsmagazine that celebrates freedom and liberty. We aim to highlight the forgotten and untold stories of the world, sketching faces for the faceless and giving voices to the unheard. We call this journalism for humanity. We are supported by our readers alone through yearly subscriptions. We do not accept any paid advertisement; government or corporate funding. We are an internationalist magazine free from any ideological, political or geographical bias.
