Human Rights Information and Documentation Systems International (HURIDOCS) helps human rights organizations use information technologies and documentation methods that maximize the impact of their work. It does this through capacity building, technical support, research, and software development. HURIDOCS is: 1) developing a new online software service enabling human rights actors to quickly and easily manage information; 2) improving the design and usability of the African Human Rights Case Law Analyser; 3) developing a grants database to analyze patterns of sexual and gender-based violence funding in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC); and 4) expanding HURIDOCS' Nairobi-based team and embed it more deeply within the African technology and social justice communities.
