Human Rights Violation Incident Assessment and Documentation Tool

A tool for reporting and assessing human rights violations against gay, bisexual, and queer people — built for advocates and community organizations.

Violations against gay, bisexual, and queer people are under-reported — usually not because nobody saw them, but because the people best placed to see them have no shared way to write them down. Notes end up in a dozen formats across a dozen organizations, and none of them add up to the pattern.

This tool exists to give advocates and community organizations one format. It works in two directions: report a single incident to MPact through the online form, or download the workbook and run your own documentation process — assessing what happened, recording who was affected, and keeping a record consistent enough to stand next to the next one.

What you can do with it

  • Report an individual incident directly to MPact through the online form
  • Assess a violation against a consistent set of questions instead of ad-hoc notes
  • Keep a structured record across many incidents, in one workbook
  • Hand community-level documentation to funders, journalists, or advocacy bodies in a form they can use
