✍️In many parts of the country like Karamoja region with mineral extractives, human rights violations often go unreported or are dismissed due to lack of credible evidence. Systematic documentation (using verified data, testimonies, photos, and incident logs) provides solid proof that can be used to advocate for policy changes, justice, and accountability. Thank you @KHORDFoundation for scaling up the monitoring tool in your community. @EUinUG @DCAUganda @witness_radio @DKinUganda @DanishMFA #TogetherWeDefend
