INSM Foundation for Digital Rights
INSM
INSM is an Iraqi organization dedicated to protecting and promoting digital rights in Iraq. INSM works at the intersection of technology, human rights, media, and civic space, with a focus on building a safer, more inclusive, and rights respecting digital environment. Through research, monitoring, documentation, advocacy, and capacity building, INSM addresses key digital rights challenges, including online gender-based violence, hate speech, disinformation, privacy, digital safety, freedom of expression, and access to information. INSM produces evidence based research and practical resources to better understand digital harms in Iraq and support more effective responses by civil society, media actors, policymakers, and affected communities. Its work is grounded in the belief that the rights people hold offline must also be protected online. The organization also supports journalists, human rights defenders, women, civil society organizations, and communities most exposed to digital risks, helping them strengthen their digital resilience and safely participate in online spaces. INSM collaborates with local, regional, and international partners to advance digital rights, promote accountability, and contribute to a more open, safe, and inclusive internet in Iraq and the wider region.
