WITNESS empowers citizen witnesses and human rights defenders to use video to fight injustice and transform personal stories of abuse into powerful tools that can pressure those in power or with power to act. It enables people to bring images and stories to the attention of decision-makers, the media and the public; it catalyses grassroots activism, political engagement and lasting change. It bridges the worlds of human rights, media and technology by incorporating cutting-edge tactics and technological innovations into traditional approaches to advocacy.
