Mission

WITNESS was founded in 1992 by Peter Gabriel and the Reebok Human Rights Foundation as a project of the Lawyers Committee for Human Rights (now Human Rights First). WITNESS uses the power of video to open the eyes of the world to human rights violations. We empower people to transform personal stories of abuse into powerful tools for justice, promoting public engagement and policy change. We envision a just and equitable world where all individuals and communities are able to defend and uphold human rights.
