Finding Organizations and Reports

Web searches are a good way to find organizations working in the field of international human rights. Oftentimes, there will be an international organization coordinating efforts and funding grants, and their reporting will share grant recipients working on the ground in particular communities. Both the larger and smaller organizations will publish reports on best practices in their field, or share impact stories about a specific community.

There are also a few databases that search this type of material, often referred to as gray literature.
