In locations where the state itself performs acts of violence and enforced disappearances of its citizens, no system for globally recording testimonies of disappearances exist. Protestors in Hong Kong; Kurds in Syria; activists in Iraq - their stories may appear on social media, but they are not being collected systematically in one place except for a few prominent dissidents.
One system has been created specifically for the Uyghur population at http://shahit.biz, but the creator of this site does not have the resources to expand it globally. (Note, if you would like to volunteer for that specifically please visit the shahit.biz site. The image used for this posting is a real person and you can volunteer to help her, this is her entry: https://shahit.biz/eng/#10669)
We have a design in place for a global testimony database, and have confirmed the need with several organizations and individuals.
This opportunity is for a grant writer to apply for funding for the project. Note that shahit.biz is also in need of funding and we may direct some of the funds to experts working on shahit.biz in order to support that project as well.
