From online videos of rights violations, to satellite images of environmental degradation, to eyewitness accounts disseminated on social media, we have access to more relevant data today than ever before. But integrating data collection and management into the day to day work of human rights research and documentation can be challenging, even overwhelming, for individuals and organisations.
Through interviews, community consultations and a survey, we learned about the challenges facing human rights researchers in using digital data in their work. That’s why Amnesty, Benetech and the Engine Room created DatNav, through a collaborative process together with a group of 15 experts from leading human rights and technology organisations from around the world, and a series of community consultations. I'm excited to share it with you today, and I hope this is just the first step towards strengthening human rights research and documentation with digital data. For more information, read the Engine Room blog post <https://engn.it/datnav>, and if you’d like to be involved in next steps, please get in touch with me.
