Witness expands into citizen journalism
The Hub allows people to publicize events or situations violating human rights using hand-held cameras or mobile phones. They gather material, upload it onto the Hub, and then tell viewers what they can do to help raise awareness of the problem and create change.
The interactive platform is intended to galvanize action on human rights situations and encourage media advocacy.
It features material from countries all around the world and you can search problems by region or by rights issue.
You can check out the video on the idea here and sign up to start posting here.
Witness is an international human rights organization that uses video and online technologies to try to raise awareness of human rights violations.
