June 2016 marks the third anniversary of openGlobalRights, an online, multilingual space dedicated to debating human rights work and thinking. It has cultivated new and established authors, highlighted disagreements and published articles by advocates, practitioners and scholars worldwide, in 21 languages. It has published nearly 1,000 articles and translations, and runs social media in Spanish, French and Arabic. It curates 14 active debates, including religion and human rights, the international refugee regime, and much more.
Recently, the Ford and Open Society Foundations asked me to conduct an evaluation of openGlobalRights to gauge whether it has become a key reference and resource for the global human rights community. I interviewed 33 key stakeholders, asking them how they access and engage the website’s content, and how they use it in their own work. I asked how they perceived the value of openGlobalRights for themselves, their organizations, and for the broader human rights movement as a whole.
Now, to get a broader picture of our reach and impact, the oGR team is seeking additional feedback from you, its readers. Please take a few moments to fill out this short survey.
