1/5 Eyewitness testimony research has found that immediately interviewing witnesses slows the rate of forgetting over time. But, in low-income countries & conflict settings, interviews often occur after long delays. We further explored this in our paper: https://t.co/BzFd1nhtgK

Our work at the CARE project is entirely survivor-centered in its approach to tackling #sexualviolence. To combat sexual violence we need more data! The CARE project is building capacity of survivors to collect, analyse and report real-time data from within their communities.
Marginalized people need better representation in #data systems and greater access to data infrastructure—requiring investments in physical and #human capital.

“These cuts are dangerous because organizations may forgo other funding opportunities … [putting] researchers, their families, and the people served on the frontline at grave risk. ” Anonymous @rights_4_time. Researcher from a low income country.
@rights_4_time Dr Ben Warwick is a specialist in international human rights & the United Nations human rights bodies. His research is frequently used by governmental and non-governmental bodies all over the globe, & has been prominently reported in national print & news media.
“A bad faith act indeed,” read the statement of @rights_4_time partner the Palestine Trauma Center, reacting to the proposed cuts to our network project, which they have put countless hours into.
The @rights_4_time network has a research vision that is ambitious and achievable, and supports development of people, raisises the profile of communities and orgs, and extends the global footprint of grassroots-led #humanitarianprotection. Find out more:

Community-led research and "ground-up thinking" generates new insights and workable #humanitarianprotection policy through ambitious but achievable @rights_4_time research and impacts, such as on education by our partner @WeLoveReading.
Most research projects and grants end, and then everyone goes home. Same is true for international development aid initiatives,which often fail to deliverresults and address harm. @rights_4_time is building a global footprint that can be tapped indefinitely.
