Lawyers Alert with the kind assistance of  AmplifyChange has developed a Documentation of sexual and reproductive health rights violation tool to be used by the lawyers and other CSOs serving the target population.
The tool was developed in consultation women, community members and other stakeholders. The Consultant validated the tool with the community in the course of its development. The tool has been upgraded to a web Application to aid the capturing of violations by CSOs, CBOs and other stakeholders working and networking with Lawyers Alert on the internet. Â http://www.colahr.org/lawyersalert/index.php
The tool is perhaps the biggest fall out of the six-month old project supported by AmplifyChange:https://amplifychange.org/grantees/grants/strengthening/2vnwejaynv5zm1mm/protecting-the-sexual-and-reproductive-health-rights-of-women-and-other-vulnerable-groups-in-nigeria.html
has the potential to revolutionise the capturing and documentation of SRHR violations in Nigeria. The application developed has the capacity to analyse trends, desegregate data by types of violation, age, geographic location, etc.
CSOs and other bodies working in same sector have expressed the desire to key into our documentation tool. We intend to share the password for them to upload such information, subject to conditions we are yet to develop.
The Tool as shown below, has about 32 indicators and is open to CSOs to fill in data, which is then verified and pulled together. Analyses will be every quarter of a year beginning April 2017. Only accredited users will have access. http://www.colahr.org/lawyersalert/index.php
