ApproachCommunity learning, evidence and accountable action
A right is difficult to use when the reporting route is unclear, evidence is unsafe to hold or the institution responsible is hard to reach. Community organisations often become the first place a person asks for help even when they are not legal-service providers.
What the existing record shows
K-HAKI’s reports describe forums on youth safety, gender-based violence, femicide, cost of living and extrajudicial killings, alongside radio discussions and training on monitoring human-rights violations.

Learning and accountability
How we will avoid shallow reporting.
The programme will distinguish information provided, referral attempted, service reached and outcome confirmed. These are different stages and should not be combined into one impact number.
