  • Personal Reflection on Human Rights Values and the Anti-Muslim Video I'd like to share my views on the recent events as a human rights advocate who has used/is using video for human rights change - particularly recently in North Africa and the Middle East; as an African; and as a Christian. WITNESS September 19, 2012
  • Videos Critique (Un)Democratic Election and Educate Voters in Yemen Earlier this month, I spent some time in Yemen's capital, Sana'a.

  • What Do You Want to Learn from Video Activists in the Middle East and North Africa? For most of us, the epicenter of video for change work that we’ve seen throughout 2011 has been in the Middle East and North African region (MENA). The Arab Spring has illuminated the reality of what “Cameras Everywhere” looks like, and what the power of instant video capturing and sharing can yield to inform and mobilize for truly incredible social change. WITNESS October 19, 2011
  • Video From Yemen’s Demonstrators: A Call for Human Rights and Democracy I had the opportunity to visit Yemen a few years ago as part of a WITNESS partner training and I heard first-hand from human rights activists and citizens how the government has failed to ensure basic human rights in the country. Issues included conditions ranging from a lack of freedom of expression and access to basic resources to systemic corruption and high unemployment. WITNESS May 25, 2011

  • Gender-Based Violence in the Context of Armed Conflict and Political Repression WITNESS recently made a decision to focus a concentrated level of support to networks of human rights defenders working to challenge gender-based violence that occurs during and after armed conflict and under political repression (for more detail on this, see our previous blog post on the new network campaign strategy).
