Action 1
Documentation of cases of enforced disappearances in Asia
AFAD's 4 Pillars
Research and Documentation
Evidence, Truth, and Justice
Effective advocacy relies on verifiable truth. Through our Research & Documentation program, we transform raw data into evidence-based campaigns and targeted interventions designed to expose enforced disappearances and demand accountability.
By continuously gathering evidence, training local investigators, and leveraging international human rights mechanisms, we ensure that victims of enforced disappearances are not forgotten—and that their cases are built on undeniable facts.
