Our impact
We have saved lives, broken front page stories, and held perpetrators to account
We have supplied critical evidence to enable prosecutions, broken front page news and helped local communities tell their stories through award-winning documentaries.
We have shone a light in the darkest places, always centring those living directly in harm’s way, and adding our voice to theirs in the fight for justice.
Our work has often been out of sight, either because discretion has been the first line of defence in protecting those on the frontlines, or because the levers of change have been best accessed behind closed doors.
In REDACTED we revealed direct evidence of genocide, mobilizing international action and establishing patterns of events for arrest warrants and prosecutions.
In Kenya we exposed widespread police corruption and violence, resulting in the suspension of five city officials, and the dismissal of the Director of the City Inspectorate and four other senior city officials.
In REDACTED we showed how the leading mineral traceability scheme not only failed to prevent tainted minerals from entering global supply chains but facilitated it. Our work led to the discrediting of the scheme and revised conflict minerals legislation.
Farmers in Eswatini retained their land after illegal seizures were systematically exposed by our teams.
In Zimbabwe we filmed intimidation and coercion by state forces during national elections, countering official government narratives with proof of systematic abuses.
In REDACTED we exposed the torture and sexual abuse suffered by women political prisoners and acted as a referral mechanism for survivors to seek justice.
We helped protect pro-democracy activists in Georgia with bespoke guidance on physical and digital security and the safe use of visual evidence gathering techniques.
Social movements and activists in Russia, Angola, Djibouti and many other countries have counted on our support to strengthen their digital and physical security.
UN investigative mechanisms, Special Rapporteurs, Groups of Experts, and the International Criminal Court trust our evidence to further their mandates.
