PARTNERSHIPS
Partnerships are a big part of how Exile Hub works. In high-risk and changing environments, no one organization can provide everything HRDs may need. We work with trusted partners who bring different skills, experience and connections — from referrals and specialized support to training, professional development and other practical support.
Below are examples of some of our partnerships:
Burma Podcast Network works with Exile Hub to provide podcast creation training and workshops, as well as further opportunities for collaboration with our fellows.
DigiSec Lab has been supporting ethnic newsrooms, CSOs, iNGOs, activists and human right defending organizations in Myanmar since 2021.
Since 2021, Free Press Unlimited has collaborated with Exile Hub around the safety & resilience of Myanmar media professionals, including research, emergency response & press freedom.
Exile Hub is a member of the network, which positions themselves as an ecosystem connector for the global community of public-interest and civic information actors, the organisations that support them, and the institutions whose decisions shape their future.
Global Voices publishes, translate, and cross-promote content produced by Exile Hub’s fellows, has established a dedicated digital space for feminist stories, and helped to foster collaborative journalism across borders to strengthen the visibility and impact of independent and feminist voices.
How She Did It is a women's talent platform in Myanmar that empowers women through training, coaching, and economic opportunities. Through our collaboration on the Zin Yaw Women Rising program, we created spaces for human rights defenders to develop digital livelihood skills, share experiences, learn from peers, and build their confidence and leadership through feminist and trauma-informed approaches.
The Independent Press Council Myanmar promotes press freedom, journalist protection, and professional media standards. Exile Hub collaborates with IPCM on journalist safety, emergency assistance, and addressing sexual harassment in exile media, strengthening journalist resilience and independent media in Myanmar.
Exile Hub has partnered with the Research Institute for Languages and Cultures of Asia (RILCA), Mahidol University, since 2023 to provide Thai and English language education for Hub Fellows living in Thailand. This collaboration focuses on strengthening participants’ communication skills, supporting their adaptation to life in Thailand, and improving access to professional and educational opportunities.
The Myanmar Internet Project was established in 2022 by a collective of researchers, practitioners and advocates with years of experience tracking developments in the Myanmar digital space.
Myanmar Women in Media (MWiM) is a network of media professionals grounded in feminist principles, supporting transformative change in Myanmar’s media ecosystem. Exile Hub works with MWiM to support and protect Myanmar journalists, particularly women media professionals. This includes providing emergency support, including emergency funding, legal documentation assistance and mental health and psychosocial support, and implementing sexual harassment response mechanisms across independent Myanmar media organizations.
The Overseas Irrawaddy Association provides humanitarian assistance and community development by supporting those individuals and communities in need, addressing urgent challenges, and promoting dignity, resilience, and compassion.
Reporters Without Borders partnered with Exile Hub to implement the Myanmar Press Freedom Project, a programme that provides assistance to Myanmar journalists.
Exile Hub is a member of TrustLaw, the Thomson Reuters Foundation’s global pro bono legal network, which connects civil society organisations and independent media with legal expertise. Through TrustLaw, Exile Hub has accessed legal guidance, pro bono support, and capacity-building on NGO governance, employment law, regulatory compliance, and issues affecting press freedom. This support helps strengthen our organisational resilience and our work with independent media and journalists at risk.
Olive Educational Development Center (OEDC) provides digital literacy, advocacy, journalism, media literacy, and language training. Exile Hub collaborates with OEDC to deliver training that builds the skills and capacity of Myanmar human rights defenders.
