You might have never heard of Videre

but chances are you’ve seen our work

Videre operates in a dangerous world. Authoritarian governments are rolling back fundamental rights, criminalizing legitimate dissent, harassing, attacking, arresting, and even murdering those who dare to raise their voice in protest.

Local activists are organizing and innovating to face these challenges, however they are not able to keep pace with the wide-ranging capabilities of perpetrators. As a result, many of the world’s most vulnerable populations lack the tools and ability to systematically and safely document the abuses they face. All too often, intimidation and violence, persecution of marginalized groups, and direct attacks on civilian populations go unseen.

“Videre is unique and essential... providing courts with irrefutable evidence linking an accused to the scene of a crime.”
— Professor Eric Stover, UC Berkeley’s Human Rights Center.
“Videre’s work has been absolutely crucial in bringing the mass killings to global attention and providing the basis of criminal proceedings against the perpetrators”
— Evan Williams, Documentary Producer, Channel 4, Frontline
“There may be no better example of maximizing the power of technology to hold governments accountable than Videre”
— Dr. Rajiv J. Shah, President of The Rockefeller Foundation and former USAID Administrator
