MONITORING AND DOCUMENTATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS In 2017, the Forum launched the Unified Digital Human Rights Violations Documentation System (UDHRVDS) for systematic monitoring and documentation of human rights violations. The system incorporates the Ushahidi tool. The Forum partnered with the Zimbabwe Citizens’ Initiatives (ZCI), a convergence of Zimbabweans all over the world. The Forum Executive Director - Blessing Gorejena welcoming delegates present for the launch A total of twenty-one voluntary human rights monitors drawn from the Forum membership are responsible for monitoring and feeding information into the system. A human rights monitoring tool was developed to assist the monitors with the documentation process. The system operates under the code name Ziso/Ililho. It was also synchronized with WhatsApp and Facebook platforms and for admissibility of captured data, the system was tied to a GPRS system that verifies the actual location of the monitor and provides a map to enable determination of verified and unverified reports from the field. Since its inception in June, 145 reports were received via the system and 108 cases were verified. The UDHRMRS System Unveiled 19 ZIMBABWE HUMAN RIGHTS NGO FORUM ANNUAL REPORT 2017
