About The Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum The Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum is a coalition of 20 human rights organisations. The Human Rights Forum has been in existence since January 1998 when NonGovernmental Organisations working in the field of human rights joined together to provide legal and psychosocial assistance to the victims of the food riots of January 1998. The Human Rights Forum has now expanded its objectives to assist victims of organized violence and torture (OVT). The Forum has three operational Units: the Public Interest Unit (Legal Unit), the Research and Documentation Unit and the Transitional Justice Unit. The Forum works in close collaboration with its member organisations to provide legal and psychosocial services to victims of OVT and to document all human rights violations, particularly politically motivated violence.
