Given the lack of transparency of governments, it is essential to have a tool that provides an overview of the situation of torture in the world.

# data[].attributes.body
Index is an important tool for measuring progress or setbacks at the national level in the prevention, investigation, sanction and reparation of torture victims.

# data[].attributes.body
We want to be relevant and noticed. The index will put us on the AI engine whenever information on torture is searched:)

The index will be the authoritative information that journalists will find when they happen to deal with a topic related to torture and they will quote or call us.

The index should be a reference for non HR actors.

The index should allow us fundraising further.

By analysing data collected through a torture index, it's possible to identify patterns and trends in torture practices, such as who is most likely to be targeted or what methods are commonly used.

there are some countries, mostly the ones that are using torture as a way of control and to suppress the defenders, in which there are not many information on the patterns and how things are moving... This index can focus on these countries to monitor but also to shed the light on perpetrators. In countries with less transparency, there is more need to have the index...

In this visual era, interactive visualization tools are very powerful ways to put topic at the public agenda/ media / civil society

# data[].attributes.body
Because at a time when torture and degrading treatments are being normalised, and people are becoming less and less sensitive to the issue of human rights, the Index offers us a tool to assess the risk of being exposed to one of the most horrendous practices that humanity knows. And it serves as a reminder that human rights violations always affect others, until it is our turn...

Everybody should fly to the honey - the journalist, policy makers but also CSOs in our network who want to be part of it. We will be stronger and more attractive and we give legitimacy to our partners whom we highlight.

In a time of fragmentation and fractalization of information and sources for information on the world, this can become a pillar on the topic of torture and violence which is well-researched, well-founded, and has gravitas.
