  • Our anthologies from artists around the world, speaking out on the issues of concern to them, from police brutality in Nigeria to female education in India to LGBTQ discrimination around the world to freedom of expression in Nepal, Myanmar, Hong Kong, Uganda, Bangladesh etc.

  • Our African Secretariat, where we engage hundreds of artists and intellectuals every year to tell their stories about everything from Female Genital Mutilation to wishes for anti-corruption measures in their homeland. “The arts have a long history of being at the forefront of social justice movements, and Africa is no exception.  The arts have been a powerful tool in the fight for human rights.  And in my view, IHRAM is one of the most powerful movements of the 21st century, and it is here to stay.  IHRAM has revolutionized human rights in Africa through the use of arts.” Wole Adedoyin, Director, IHRAM African Secretariat, Nigeria.

  • IHRAM reaches more than 200,000 people around the world with our work each year, through direct website hits (75,000+), our Facebook (100,000 engagements) and Instagram (50,000 engageents) and our newsletter (4,000 recipients).
