About the Voices of Freedom Platform
Voices of Freedom is where thought meets courage. It exists to amplify the voices that speak for a free and democratic Iran. Here, ideas, art, and truth come together in dialogue. We welcome everyone who believes that freedom of expression is the heartbeat of change.
Our platform publishes work or reflections on politics, art, poetry, science, technology, economics, culture, and books in English, Farsi, and other languages. We invite many forms of expression: essays, commentaries, case studies, news reports, original artwork, and poetry.
Submissions and Editorial Standards. We welcome all who share a commitment to democracy and human dignity. There are no strict limits on length or topic. We seek clear, well-written pieces that challenge assumptions, provoke thought, and strengthen the movement for freedom. Every submission is reviewed by our editors. We understand that some authors may have concerns about revealing their identity. For that reason, we also consider submissions published under pen names or with the author’s name withheld. All accepted work will be freely available online, open to everyone, as freedom should be.
