A Section of openDemocracy

openDemocracy is an independent global media platform publishing up to 60 articles a week and attracting over 8 million visits per year.[1]

openDemocracy is a non-profit federation comprising the Main site and a number of editorially and financially independent Sections.

democraciaAbierta, like the other independent sections of openDemocracy, shares the mission of challenging power and inspiring progressive change in specific priority areas.

Alongside democraciaAbierta there are the four other main sections:

oDR – on liberty in Russia and Eurasia

Publishing in English and Russian, and covering politics, civil society, human rights and culture in Russia and the former Soviet states.

50.50 – strategies for inclusive democracy

Critical perspectives on social justice, gender equality and pluralism. International in breadth whilst sensitive to local particularities and heritages, 50.50 gives voice to women's human rights defenders working on the front line of resistance to patriarchy, fundamentalisms and other forms of social injustices.

Transformation – where love meets social justice

Telling the stories of those who are combining personal and social change in order to reimagine their societies.

democraciaAbierta – the ‘Latin’ section of openDemocracy

Publishing in English, Spanish and Portuguese, democraciaAbierta is a global platform for Latin American voices, debating democracy, mobilisation, participation, human and civil rights across the continent, Europe and beyond.

openDemocracyUK – on the crisis of democracy in Britain

Questioning and investigating power in the United Kingdom, whether public or secret, cultural or economic, from the perspective of securing and enhancing our shared liberty. openDemocracyUK hosts OurNHS and OurBeeb, unique forums examining two of Britain's most significant institutions, and Shine a Light: a project to expose injustice led by award-winning investigative journalist Clare Sambrook.

Mission

democraciaAbierta is a global platform in English, Spanish and Portuguese that works to provide pluralistic and quality analysis and publishes the voices of those who influence debates regarding democracy, mobilisation, effective participation, human rights and civil liberties across the Americas, Europe and beyond.

In democraciaAbierta we work to foster inclusive democratic debate about politics and society. With defence of human rights as the main focus, we believe that free thinking drives the ideas that are able to transform the world. Thus, we fight to defend spaces of freedom, transparency and accountability that these ideas require in order to flourish and grow.

democraciaAbierta seeks to strengthen the ecosystem of open democracy and political innovation by connecting voices and experiences on a global level. We reinforce and broaden analysis and truly independent alternative narratives, capable of challenging hegemonic media outlets and proposing new democratic practices to all of us.

gollark: What happens if you *eat* a solid hologram?
gollark: Also, "status quo is god", as TVTropes would put it.
gollark: Because the writers aren't creative enough to think "hmm yes how do I actually use this WORLD-BREAKING TECHNOLOGY".
gollark: You would expect the replicator to be able to trivially copy humans, given the teleporters' apparent explanation.
gollark: How weird.
