What we do

We work in some of the world’s most hostile environments

The challenge

We work in some of the world’s most hostile environments, equipping local activists with the technology and training to capture compelling visual evidence of the human rights violations suffered by their communities.

We then put this evidence in the hands of those that can secure accountability and justice, including courts, policymakers, and the media – forcing perpetrators to answer for their actions.

We believe that local communities are uniquely positioned to gather the concrete, verifiable evidence of the gross human rights abuses they face. However, these courageous activists are often under-resourced and overexposed. With the right support the risks they face can be minimized, and they can share their story with the world, exposing what outsiders never could. We stay in the background, ensuring the world focuses on what they film instead of who we are.

As long as there are fearless local activists determined to shine the light on abuses – and challenge those who would cover them up – Videre will be there to support and sustain their extraordinary work.
