Established in 2012, it provides independent, progressive journalism that amplifies under-represented voices and stories often missing from mainstream media. In an era where speed often outweighs accuracy, it focuses on producing thoroughly researched, original reporting.

Based in Europe, it is supported by the 200 million-member International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) and receives additional funding from the International Labour Organization (ILO), the European Union, and other donor organisations.

Its mission is to uphold workers’ rights, defend human rights, protect the environment, promote sustainable and equitable development, and celebrate global cultural diversity.

With the help of skilled translators and a global network of freelance journalists, it makes a unique contribution to socially conscious, democratic journalism.

Its opinion and blog sections feature voices from around the world, including workers’ rights advocates, civil society leaders, activists, and thought leaders.

Equal Times adheres to the International Federation of Journalists’ Global Charter of Ethics for Journalists and values inclusion across gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, social class, age, ability, sexual orientation, religion, and other identities. It is committed to improving diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of its work.
