HUMAN RIGHTS PUBLICATIONS The Forum carries out extensive research on key thematic human rights issues, documents and publishes human rights violations, produces tools for human rights education and advocacy and empowers citizens with knowledge. Over the past two decades, over 240 reports have been published. Additionally, over 160 human rights bulletins have been published on various human rights themes with an average circulation of 5 000 copies every month and 6 000 downloads from the Forum website. In 2017, the Forum partnered with Zimbabwe Citizen Initiative (ZCI) to create Ziso/Ililho, a digital tool that allows ordinary citizen to document and report human rights violation in real time via text messages, WhatsApp, Facebook and Twitter. The Forum’s advocacy initiatives have reached beyond the borders, influencing policy up to United Nations level through the Universal Periodic Review.
