About HRSAT
The Human Rights Search and Tracking Application (HRSAT) was developed to collect, document and organise information concerning human rights violations. The platform helps GHRD and its partners identify patterns, strengthen research and support evidence-based international advocacy. Submitted information is reviewed before it is used for research, reporting or publication.
