Witness

Using technology and video to fight for human rights: this organization, founded in 1992 by Peter Gabriel, the Lawyers’ Committee for Human Rights and the Reebok Foundation, consists of more than 150 ‘partner groups’ in over 50 countries around the world investigating and exposing a wide range of injustices and violations of human rights that otherwise go unnoticed and unreported, often in societies without basic protections and at great risk to themselves. The organization’s fundraising efforts make video and other technology tools available to grassroots human rights groups around the world. Witness’ annual report is online here.
