Upstream Journal

A magazine on human rights and social justice issues worldwide.

The Upstream Journal is a magazine about human rights and social justice. Since its launch in January 1986, it has told the stories of people and communities facing poverty, oppression and marginalization with the goal of giving them, to the extent we could, a voice.
As it says in our web site banner, “The protection of human rights is built on the participation of people who are informed and empowered through education and honest journalism.”

Stephen Lewis was an inspiration to those who seek a more just world, and news of his death came as a terrible shock. It was my pleasure to publish an interview that one of my team did with Mr. Lewis back in 2006. Apparently he did it on an early morning as he prepared and had breakfast at his home, the only time he could fit it in! I failed to edit their conversation down for the issue I had planned, so it ran over two issues.

He was clearly a kind, thoughtful, informed and inspiring man with clear insights into global challenges. Such a life well-lived.

This new article and podcast explores the issue of children born of war. The children born of war are mainly considered to be those children born to local women of men who have been members of an enemy, allied or peacekeeping force.

Through no fault of their own, these children often carry a sense of disgrace and shame as they grow.

Features interviews with extraordinary women who talk about their past and how they continually overcome the challenges it brought.

The illustration is from a sculpture designed and created by Rebecca Hawkins.
