We prove the existence of weak solutions of complex $m$ -Hessian equations on compact Hermitian manifolds for the non-negative right-hand side belonging to $L^{p}$ , $p>n/m$ ( $n$  is the dimension of the manifold). For smooth, positive data the equation has recently been solved by Székelyhidi and Zhang. We also give a stability result for such solutions.
