1. Explain how training and development play an important role in Witness.org. Witness.org trains human rights advocacy groups to capture on video the testimonies of survivors and witnesses to human rights abuses all over the world. The company s goal is to empower the people who are directly involved in the situations, by giving them the tools necessary to use the power of video to communicate their stories.

Witness.org trains advocacy partners on how to use the video equipment, how to tell a story in such a way that it effects change in those who hear it, and how to get the video in front of the people who are able to make a positive change.

Witness.org is ran by a core of 28 people with experience in a variety of areas, including speaking multiple languages, managing a nonprofit organization, producing videos, and working with human rights issues. These employees train advocacy groups on the technical aspects of creating a video, as well as safety and security issues related to producing videos containing sensitive materials. The main goal of Witness.org is to achieve changes in policies, laws, or behaviors that are currently causing human suffering.
