In an AI-shaped world, when truth is under attack, how can those documenting human rights violations be heard and trusted?
That’s where WITNESS comes in.
We are a global organization that helps people everywhere harness the power of video and technology to defend human rights.
Through training, practical guidance, and smart advocacy, WITNESS works to fortify the truth – so that real evidence of human rights violations can’t be ignored, discredited, or faked.
