Open Educational Resources
Inequality, discrimination, and intolerance remain some of the biggest challenges in societies facing authoritarianism, polarization, and social injustice. In Venezuela and across Latin America, both independent media and civil society organizations that promote inclusion and diversity often lack the visibility, resources, and protection needed to maximize their impact.
Voices of Inclusion is a Free Media Foundation program designed to empower independent media outlets and NGOs working to advance equality, tolerance, and diversity. Through communication strategies, creative campaigns, and global advocacy, this initiative seeks to amplify their work, strengthen their sustainability, and inspire broader cultural change toward more inclusive societies.
When voices of equality, tolerance, and diversity are amplified, societies become stronger, freer, and impossible to silence.
