HURIDOCS offers support to human rights groups that want to gather, organise and use information to create positive change in the world. You might be in the beginning stages of a project, or you might be years into working with an existing collection of information.
Services
How can HURIDOCS help? We can:
- Guide you to define the goals of an information collection
- Recommend strategies, tools and workflows to achieve those goals
- Advise you on how to organise the information in order to generate reliable conclusions
- If Uwazi, a database application developed by HURIDOCS, matches the needs of the project, configure it or migrate any existing data
- Identify and implement ways to receive, process and store information safely and ethically in the collection
- Provide hosting services for the collection, if it’s based in our tool Uwazi

What do our partners say?
“The assistance of HURIDOCS made it easier for us to analyse our data and improved our advocacy. We know which kind of violation is rampant in the different countries we deal with, and we can adjust our work to it.”
“We learned a lot out of our experience with HURIDOCS: how to collect and register data, how to organise it. Information management is crucial to expose what happened and to analyse crimes. It helps reveal the truth.”
“HURIDOCS’ help is invaluable. Professionals who don’t know about Caselaw Analyser are very enthusiastic when they see the possibilities it offers.”
“Managing information is essential to the success of our mission and, before turning to HURIDOCS, we were having a very hard time organising our content. We asked for their help because we knew the HURIDOCS team is specialised in human rights and has a strong background as information management specialists.”
