The website is primarily aimed at human rights activists – persons monitoring the respect of human rights and advocating for positive change. Persons who are passionate about quality human rights work, have a thirst to continually deepen their knowledge, and are looking for a collection of top reference material.
After several years of searching the internet, we gradually discovered and assembled a collection of human rights tools and resources of amazing quality – and all of them were offered by their developers to other human rights workers. Taken together, these tools consitute a formidable resource, and a wonderful example of sharing and collaboration.
However one thing that was missing was a directory which made it easy to access this collection of wonderful tools. This is why we created an E-Library which had to have the following qualities:
– We take you straight to the very best tools, not only to a website’s homepage
– No forest of links, no obsolete pages, no dead links, only carefully selected and up-to-date stuff.
– Reviews to pinpoint the strong points and not-to-be-missed features of each tool.
– Very accessible for those with low-bandwidth internet.
– A clear, intuitive, user-oriented navigation system.
– Very simple for users to suggest links or request improvements
We try to organise existing information in ways which make it useful to the end-user, easy to access, well structured, easy to export. Do we fill the brief? How can we improve? Let us know by email. (Read all and more on ‘about us‘).
