What the charity does

A mobile camera app, designed to document and report information on human rights abuses, was finalised and launched. Field testing of the beta version of the app was completed. The feedback was compiled and incorporated into the final production version of the app. The app was released to the public in June 2015. eyeWitness has now been developing support among target users of the app.
