Witness is an international human rights organization that provides training and support to local groups to use video in their human rights advocacy campaigns. This includes providing video cameras and editing equipment and helping broker relationships with international media outlets, government officials, policymakers, activists, and the general public. Witness was founded in 1992 by musician and activist Peter Gabriel and the Reebok Human Rights Foundation as a project of the Lawyers Committee for Human Rights (now Human Rights First).
