<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;line-height: 1.5em">Our work covers a range of issues including using video to expose cases of police brutality and war crimes so that perpetrators can be held to account; using video evidence to prove violations against mining host communities in order to remedy the injustice they have suffered; empowering individuals and groups with relevant skills to combat the spread of mis/disinformation; amongst others.<br /> </span></h3> <h3><span style="font-weight: 400;line-height: 1.5em">We engage in training, advocacy and campaign, and render technical support to groups embarking on litigation in both domestic and international courts.</span></h3> <h3><span style="font-weight: 400;line-height: 1.5em">You can go through this page to find relevant resources, materials and guidance that can help you leverage video evidence for deepened impact.</span></h3> <h3><span style="font-weight: 400;line-height: 1.5em">Click <a

#EndSARS protests, we organized a 1-year memorial event in Abuja tagged: From Capture to Justice on October 18 2021. The event featured a photo exhibition of images from the #EndSARS protests, captured by <a href="https://www.bensonibeabuchi.com/about">Benson Ibeabuchi</a> – a photographer based in Lagos.</span></p> <p>Considering that trustworthy video evidence will be integral to the pursuit of justice now and in the future, we launched the <i>Bear Witness Kit </i>which consists of a face cap and an accessories belt. Embedded in the face cap is a QR code which when scanned, will take the user to <a href="https://library.witness.org/product/filming-protests-demonstrations-police-conduct/" target="_blank"

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">From the 13-15th September 2021 we held a West African convening on mis/disinformation in Abuja, Nigeria. With the invaluable contributions of various stakeholders, we were able to successfully identify some specific solutions that would help combat the spread of mis/disinformation within our context.</span></p> <p>Some of the key findings from the convening are the need to prioritise non-technological solutions; also, the need to build synergy between activists at the frontlines and media organisations with shared values. Furthermore, the need to implement targeted and coordinated media literacy campaigns that would prioritise grassroots communities was emphasised. <a href="http://wit.to/Africa">Click here</a> to read
