We systematically monitor and document incidents of violations in a public repository to support evidence-based advocacy, early warning, research, and efforts to hold perpetrators accountable.
The Human Rights Tracker (HRT) is an online platform for information gathering, monitoring, and archiving information on civil liberties violations.
The summarised information is visualized in an interactive web-based map platform documenting the categories of rights violated, nature of the violations, people or groups impacted by the violations, identification of the alleged perpetrator, and brief details of the incident.
The tool aims to support evidence-based human rights advocacy to support action for accountability and respect for freedoms.
