Our work opens doorways to allow people to hear and understand each other.

IHRAM works towards a more inclusive publishing world, bringing opportunities and underrepresented stories to your page or screen. We publish an ever-expanding collection of original works from lesser known and up-and-coming writers who seek to bring attention to urgent social justice issues around the world. IHRAM Press Publishes has presented work from 73 countries and 30 U.S. States.

What makes our reading list so diverse? We publish beautiful and vulnerable collections as part of our Rapid Response and Hear the Voices book-series initiative. The IHRAM Literary Magazine provides a different space to our book series, delving into human-rights themes more broadly. Our Lit Mags are famous for being short and colourful reads (with snapshots of visual pieces from global artists).

What is our Rapid Response book series about?

IHRAM Press is on the ground and in the middle of the most pressing geopolitical situations in the world - from Gaza to the Ukraine to the Rohingya refugee camps to the EndSARS anti-police brutality protests in Nigeria, hear the unfiltered voices of those most passionate of retaining and expressing the highest humanity at the most dire moments.

What is our Hear the Voices series about?

We hear the voices of people around the world, struggling with concerns from shrinking rights for the LGBTQ+ community to women's issues on the African continent to how people have activated their art to push for human rights to many more ongoing concerns.  We offer a space for an international community of heart and art to build and support each other, and the struggle for human rights and social justice.

What is our Literary Magazine about?

The IHRAM Press magazine was created with a simple goal: to celebrate and uplift up-and-coming authors from all over the world. Each of our contributors contend with their identities in the context of their environments, providing readers with their unique perspectives on issues of human rights. IHRAM Press Magazine proudly provides a platform for these voices, offering a space for poetry and prose to resonate with reflections of emotion, hope, and the enduring connection to one’s identity.
