The Voices of Freedom journal aims to promote and advance the Iranian democratic movement and serve as a platform for meaningful dialogue and exchange of ideas. The journal covers a wide range of topics, including politics, art, poetry, culture, and book reviews in both English and Farsi. We welcome submissions in diverse formats, such as articles, blog posts, case studies, news reports, original art and poetry, and literary and cultural reviews. We encourage all who are committed to democracy and freedom in Iran to contribute.
