WATCH uses the practice of court monitoring to defend the human rights of survivors of domestic abuse, sexual assault, and sex trafficking. WATCH volunteers observe and document the court experience and analyze the legal response to gender-based violence. WATCH plays a vital role in AHR’s advocacy work to defend the rights of survivors and combat gender-based violence.
