We work with local and international human rights stakeholders, ensuring that villagers' voices reach decision-makers who can influence their lives. 

We train community members to document human rights abuses on the ground, which we translate and publish in our reports to share villagers' perspectives.

We train local CBO/CSOs, and ethnic armed organisations in human rights and international humanitarian law to help them prevent and document future abuses.

Our community-level workshops provide a space for villagers to share their experiences, gain knowledge, and develop their self-protection strategies.
