Investigations

The Marginalized and Excluded Communities

One very important and strategic way of gathering primary information and understanding underlying causes of human rights abuses including structural injustice that are committed against the excluded and marginalised communities is investigation. However, true investigative reports on human rights and land issues are scanty. SEHD has a track record of engaging in investigative reporting, publishing investigative reports in the local and international press and opening up new frontiers for journalists. A great number of SEHD’s investigative reports published in the newspapers, magazines and used by academics demonstrate how significant they are for making changes and promoting good journalism. SEHD also assists local and international journalists to carry out investigation and analysis. To see SEHD’s recent investigative and interpretative reports following links can be checked:
