| Martus is a secure information management tool that allows you to create a searchable and encrypted database and back this data up remotely to your choice of publicly available servers. The Martus software is used by organizations around the world to protect sensitive information and shield the identity of victims or witnesses who provide testimony on human rights abuses. Martus is the Greek word for witness. Learn more about Martus software. |
| The Martus software can be downloaded free from this website. An open source software tool, Martus is used by human rights workers, attorneys, journalists and others who need to secure their information from eavesdropping, theft or equipment failure. Some organizations which use Martus to protect their data also use Analyzer, a software program developed by the Human Rights Data Analysis Group to organize human rights information for statistical analysis. Both Martus and Analyzer are supported by Benetech®, a non-profit technology organization based in Palo Alto, California. |

The Martus BlogHuman Rights Trainings in NigeriaBy Vijaya Tripathi As outreach coordinator for Martus, Benetech’s secure software application, I travel to many countries where human rights defenders need tools to gather, organize and back up information about human rights violations. Over the past few years, I have seen human rights groups become much more sophisticated about how they use technology to document human rights abuses. Read more of the blog here. Martus Training for NGOs in the Democratic Republic of CongoOctober 21, 2009, Palo Alto, CA — Vijaya Tripathi, Martus Outreach Coordinator, has just completed a Martus training for staff members of human rights NGOs in the Democratic Republic of Congo. During her visit, Tripathi also had an opportunity to meet the staff of the United Nations Mission of the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUC). Benetech's Martus project was invited to conduct these trainings by the International Center for Transitional Justice which assists countries pursuing accountability for mass atrocities or human rights abuses. "I was honored to work with these Congolese activists, several of whom have been on the frontline of human rights monitoring and advocacy in the DRC for many years," said Tripathi. "The trainings offered an important opportunity to bring Martus to the exact groups we built the tool for — human rights defenders who are collecting sensitive documentation and need help securing and backing up that information quickly and effectively." Smithsonian Magazine Covers Martus Project in GuatemalaSeptember 22, 2009, Palo Alto, CA &mdash The October issue of the Smithsonian magazine features a detailed story about the ongoing use of Martus at the Guatemalan National Police Archive. The article recounts how Benetech's Human Rights Program is collecting a random scientific sample of the estimated 80 million archive documents and entering the information into Benetech's secure Martus database. The collected data contains critical information about the involvement of the National Police in the killing and disappearance of an estimated 200,000 people during Guatemala's 36 years of internal conflict. Dr. Patrick Ball, director of Benetech's Human Rights Program, notes in the article that the archive presented a unique challenge that was "longer-term, more scientifically complex and more politically sensitive" than any of Benetech's previous projects. |
