We are proud to announce a partnership with Forbidden Stories, a global network dedicated to carrying forward the work of journalists who have been silenced, threatened, or killed.

This collaboration marks a significant step forward in our ongoing commitment to protecting the journalists who make our work possible.

Through this partnership, NIMJN members will gain access to the SafeBox Network — Forbidden Stories' secure platform designed to protect sensitive journalistic materials from digital threats and interference. In return, NIMJN will offer guidance and relevant opportunities to Nepali journalists within the SafeBox community.

Both organizations have also agreed to collaborate on investigations, bringing together our network of journalists in Nepal with Forbidden Stories' global reach.

"NIMJN has always stood for professional, ethical, and courageous journalism. As digital threats to journalists grow globally, we recognize the urgent need to equip our newsroom with top-notch security tools. SafeBox aligns perfectly with our mission to protect the people who hold power accountable. We are proud to partner with them," said Rajneesh Bhandari, Founder and Chief Editor of NIMJN.

"The SafeBox Network is a vital resource for journalists worldwide. Partnering with respected investigative networks such as NIMJN reflects our shared commitment to press freedom and journalist safety. Together, we stand for the principle that no journalist should be silenced for doing their job. By joining forces through this partnership, we can strengthen support mechanisms and assist to maintain a reliable safeguard for journalists in Nepal," said Hélène Garreta, SafeBox Network coordinator for Asia, Forbidden Stories.
