Global Voices

Global Voices GV is an online, community-based media initiative, working to build understanding across communities.

Global Voices is an international, multilingual, primarily volunteer community of writers, translators, academics, and human rights activists. Together we build understanding across communities, nations, and languages, using the power of our network to connect people with a diversity of perspectives and experiences. How do we do this?
