WITNESS

Description

WITNESS partner groups combat injustice across the globe on a wide range of issues -- from the atrocities in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, to the abuse of street children in Honduras, to sweatshops in the USA, and women's rights across Asia. WITNESS partner groups reveal human rights violations that go unnoticed and unreported -- to their governments and communities, to international tribunals and UN committees, and to TV viewers worldwide via outlets like the BBC, CNN, ABC, Court TV and Worldlink Satellite Television. WITNESS partners often operate in societies without basic human rights protections, or where poverty, starvation and lack of education create situations where the powerful exploit the weak.
