HaRDstories is a non-profit, independent platform committed to telling the stories of human rights defenders and communities in Thailand and across the region. Established in 2021 by the Equal Narratives Foundation, we dive deep into issues often overlooked, offering a stage for voices unheard and stories untold.

OUR FOCUS
We cover conflicts surrounding land and natural resources, environmental challenges, gender issues, and the rights of workers and minorities. Our deeply reported stories shine a light on betrayals of public trust, offering sustained attention long after the mainstream media has moved on to the next topic.

OUR APPROACH
At HaRDstories, we don’t just inform; we engage and inspire. While we cast light on the challenging aspects of human rights issues, our heart lies in sharing stories of resilience and solutions. Our stories are crafted to ignite discussions and inspire positive action, leaving readers informed and hopeful.

OUR TEAM
We are a collective of passionate journalists, photographers, media producers, and translators, overseen by an international board of experts in journalism and human rights. Together, we strive to elevate the discourse on human rights, fostering a more informed, engaged, and compassionate society.
 
OUR COMMITMENT
We’re anchored in the belief that quality journalism is key to advocating for human rights and nurturing a thriving democracy. HaRDstories serves as a hub for insights on human rights and environmental justice, with a mission to provide detailed and accurate information, ensuring accessibility for all – the public, journalists, scholars, activists, and those in the corridors of power.
