Documentation and Research Program

Documentation & Research Program of KWAT began in 2003 to research and document the human rights violations experienced by our compatriots in Kachin State and northern Shan State. We also research human trafficking, women and health, women and education, domestic violence, and sexual violence inside Burma. By collecting data through personal interviews, KWAT is able to understand the communities’ feelings and attitudes toward these violations.

We also seek to preserve and maintain Kachin culture and history through our research and documentation activity, and we provide training in the methodology to KWAT interns on our Internship Program.
