| Desc | TRAINING AND CAMPAIGNS:WITNESS IS RESPONDING TO CRITICAL SITUATIONS OF HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSE AND ATROCITIES. THROUGH HOLISTIC, RESPONSIVE SUPPORT, WE EMPOWER BROAD GROUPS OF HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDERS IN USING VIDEO TO OVERCOME SIGNIFICANT CRISES AND CREATE IMPACT. IN 2016, WITNESS ENGAGED SIGNIFICANTLY IN PROJECTS IN WESTERN SAHARA, UKRAINE, BRAZIL AND THE UNITED STATES, WHERE OUR WORK FOCUSES ON STRENGTHENING CALLS FOR ACCOUNTABILITY AND JUSTICE SURROUNDING THE ISSUE OF POLICE VIOLENCE, GOVERNMENT SUPPRESSION AND WAR CRIMES. THROUGHOUT MAY AND JUNE 2016, WITNESS HELD A NUMBER OF TRAININGS IN THE UKRAINE THROUGH THEIR VIDEO AS EVIDENCE PROGRAM TO TRAIN ACTIVISTS ON HOW TO DOCUMENT WAR CRIMES SAFELY AND EFFECTIVELY. IN JULY, WITNESS TRAINED ACTIVISTS ON THE USE OF VIDEO IN ADVOCACY CAMPAIGNS AT THE 2016 AFRICAN COALITION FOR CORPORATE ACCOUNTABILITY CONFERENCE IN PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA.IN AUGUST, WITNESS ORGANIZED A NUMBER OF TRAININGS AND ACTIVITIES IN BRAZIL TO TRAIN ACTIVISTS ON HOW TO DOCUMENT HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS AND PROTESTS TAKING PLACE WITHIN THE REGION, AS A RESULT OF THE SUMMER 2016 OLYMPICS. IN MARCH, WITNESS JOINED THE JUSTICE FOR BERTA CAMPAIGN, A HONDURAN ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVIST AND HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDER WHO WAS ASSASSINATED. WITNESS CONDEMNED THE KILLING AND CALLED FOR JUSTICE FOR BERTA AND HER FAMILY AND RELEASED A VIDEO CAMPAIGN ON BEHALF OF WITNESS SUPPORTER SUSAN SARANDON AND FOUNDER, PETER GABRIEL. | Desc |

| Desc | OUTREACH AND EDUCATION:WITNESS RECOGNIZES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR HUMAN RIGHTS IMPACT AS A RESULT OF THE VAST NUMBER OF NEW WITNESSES EMPOWERED BY VIDEO-ENABLED CELL PHONES AND INTERNET ACCESS. AT THE SAME TIME, WE UNDERSTAND THE RISKS THESE WITNESSES FACE, AND THE NEED FOR ON-THE-GROUND INTENSIVE TRAININGS ON HOW TO USE VIDEO EFFECTIVELY AND SAFELY. HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF THE OVERWHELMING NEED FOR VIDEO-ACTIVISM TRAINING, IN ORDER TO MEET THE DEMAND FOR OUR SUPPORT, WITNESS DEVELOPS EASY-TO-USE RESOURCES (TIP SHEETS, VIDEOS, GUIDES, ETC.), TRANSLATES AND ADAPTS THEM FOR USE WHERE THEY ARE MOST NEEDED AND DISTRIBUTES THEM AS BROADLY AS POSSIBLE. OUR FOCUS IS ON REACHING MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES WHERE VIDEO CAN "TIP THE BALANCE AND ACHIEVE ACCOUNTABILITY WHERE OTHER EFFORTS HAVE FALLEN SHORT. THROUGH A REDESIGN OF OUR WEBSITE, WHICH INCLUDED THE CREATION OF A WITNESS LIBRARY FOR OUR FULL SUITE OF TRAINING MATERIALS, WE HAVE GREATLY INCREASED THE EASE AND ACCESSIBILITY OF OUR RESOURCES FOR BROAD AUDIENCES. ALL MATERIALS ARE OPEN-SOURCE AND AVAILABLE TO BE DOWNLOADED AND RE-MIXED THROUGH OUR GITHUB PAGE. IN OCTOBER, WITNESS LAUNCHED A NEW WEBSITE FOR OUR VIDEO ARCHIVING WORK, WHICH FEATURES INFORMATION AND COMPREHENSIVE RESOURCES FOR ARCHIVISTS AND ACTIVISTS ON HOW TO ARCHIVE AND PRESERVE THEIR VIDEO SO THAT IMPORTANT FOOTAGE CAPTURING HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES CAN NOT BE FORGOTTEN. WITNESS ALSO PRODUCED A NUMBER OF NEW TRAINING RESOURCES, INCLUDING A FULL-LENGTH REPORT ON TRANSGENDER VIOLENCE, TITLED 'CAPTURING HATE,' AS WELL AS TRANSLATED A NUMBER OF PREEXISTING RESOURCES INTO ADDITIONAL LANGUAGES SO THEY ARE ABLE TO REACH A LARGER AUDIENCE. | Desc |

| Desc | ADVOCACY TO TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES AND THOUGHT LEADERSHIP: WE ARE ENCOURAGING LARGE TECH INDUSTRY LEADERS TO OPTIMIZE AND ADAPT THEIR PRODUCTS, PLATFORMS AND TOOLS TO ACCOMMODATE HUMAN RIGHTS USES. WITNESS HAS DEVELOPED SIGNIFICANT RELATIONSHIPS WITH GOOGLE AND YOUTUBE, ENGAGING IN REGULAR CLOSED-DOOR MEETINGS WITH THE POLICY, PRIVACY, NEWS, AS WELL AS OTHER TEAMS AT THE COMPANIES. WITNESS ADVOCATES FOR "PROOF-MODES" FOR PLATFORMS AND PRODUCTS TO MAKE SURE USERS EXPLICITLY CHOOSE WHETHER TO ADD POTENTIALLY RISKY METADATA WHILE PARTICIPATING ON THESE PLATFORMS, ALONG WITH OTHER WAYS TO MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY AND VERIFIABILITY OF ANY VIDEOS THEY SHARE. WE HAVE ALSO ADVOCATED FOR MORE ADVANCED SECURITY TACTICS, SUCH AS FACE BLURRING FUNCTIONALITIES, THAT WOULD ADDRESS PRIVACY AND SECURITY CONCERNS FOR HUMAN RIGHTS USERS, AND THAT WOULD OFFER BETTER ON-DEMAND GUIDANCE FOR VULNERABLE USERS. MOST RECENTLY, YOUTUBE RELEASED A FACEBLURRING TOOL, WHICH WITNESS CONTRIBUTED TO. ADDITIONALLY, WE ARE DEVELOPING SPECIFIC TOOLS DESIGNED TO BRIDGE GAPS FOR USERS MORE IMMEDIATELY. OUR AWARD-WINNING TOOL, CAMERAV (FORMERLY KNOWN AS INFORMACAM), DEVELOPED IN CONTINUING COLLABORATION WITH THE GUARDIAN PROJECT, ALLOWS USERS TO EASILY UNDERSTAND AND CONTROL WHAT AND HOW METADATA IS EMBEDDED IN THEIR MEDIA, EMPOWERING THEM TO PROTECT THEIR OWN PRIVACY AND SECURITY, OR TO VERIFY, VALIDATE AND PROVE A VIDEO'S AUTHENTICITY. THE APP IS ALSO A REFERENCE DESIGN FOR "PROOF MODE," WHICH WITNESS IS USING TO ENGAGE KEY USERS IN THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND HUMAN RIGHTS SYSTEMS ABOUT THE NEED TO MAKE EVIDENTIARY DATA PORTABLE ACROSS PLATFORMS AND DEVICES, AS WELL AS USER-FRIENDLY. THE WITNESS MEDIA LAB DEVELOPS, MODELS AND SUPPORTS INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO SOURCING, VERIFYING AND CONTEXTUALIZING EYEWITNESS VIDEOS AND ENSURING THAT FOOTAGE TAKEN BY AVERAGE CITIZENS CAN SERVE AS AN EFFECTIVE TOOL FOR HUMAN RIGHTS. MOST RECENTLY, THE WITNESS MEDIA LAB RELEASED A GROUNDBREAKING REPORT, TITLED 'CAPTURING HATE,' WHICH STUDIED VIEWER ENGAGEMENT WITH EYEWITNESS VIDEOS THAT SHOW TRANSPHOBIC VIOLENCE FILMED, SHARED AND ENGAGED WITH AS ENTERTAINMENT. THE REPORT AIMED TO HIGHLIGHT THE ABUSIVE AND OFTEN LIFE THREATENING ENVIRONMENTS THAT TRANSGENDER AND GENDER NONCONFORMING PEOPLE NAVIGATE DAILY. | Desc |
