必须更好的数据
人权评量之所以重要的原因？
很多大型机构都会监测人权问题，报道虐待问题。
人权评量倡议(HRMI)则填补了非常特殊的的缺口—— 衡量每个国家的表现。
我们的研究方法能让我们监测每个国家长久以来的的进步，能够表明事情是在改善还是在恶化。我们能把这一个个铿锵有力的数据交给人权倡导者、政府、传媒、以及那些立志要帮领导人优先处理人权问题的人，成为他们的有用工具。
来听听一些资深人权从业者就需要良好的数据怎么说。对不起，这些引述只有英文。 中文翻译即将推出。
Better investment decisions
“Most investors think mainly about the reputational risks of human rights issues, and much less about how they contribute to investment risks and impacts. Quality human rights data will assist the investor community in making better investment decisions and asses how they contribute to sustainability.”
HIRO MIZUNO
UN Special Envoy on Innovative Finance and Sustainable Investments
A critical need
“There is a critical need for better human rights data in the Pacific Island region. I recommend that the Pacific human rights community use HRMI’s data to develop better strategies, based on this data, to promote and protect human rights.”
IMRANA JALAL
International human rights lawyer, Co-Founder, Fiji Women’s Rights Movement
The best possible data
“Comparative data on countries’ human rights performance is a useful way to hold governments to account. The Human Rights Measurement Initiative’s work depends on cooperation from human rights defenders everywhere to develop and share the best possible data and to make use of the results.”
KEN ROTH
Executive Director, Human Rights Watch
Join!
“In Africa we are forced to exchange rights and dignity for the fetish of economic development. With our hearts, minds and bodies we refuse to do so. We fight the good fight. HRMI is one of our weapons in this fight. Join!”
DAVID MATSINHE
Lusophone Research Specialist At Amnesty International, Southern Africa
The fight requires good data
“The information collected from country experts can serve as an important measure of the impact of human rights defenders in a wide cross-section of countries, over time. The fight for universal respect for the rights of people everywhere requires good data.”
SCOTT EDWARDS
Senior Crisis Advisor, Amnesty International
Sharing your knowledge
“No one understands the human rights situation in a country better than the local and international experts and activists working to minimize rights violations there. By sharing your wealth of knowledge, you will help HRMI create the most accurate measurement possible.”
BRIAN ROOT
Quantitative Analyst, Human Rights Watch
Essential for decision-making
“Robust, accessible data that informs governments and their people about how well they are doing, or could be doing, to promote and protect human rights, is essential for effective, sustainable decision-making in today’s challenging world.”
ROSSLYN NOONAN
Former New Zealand Chief Human Rights Commissioner and Chair of the Global Association of National Human Rights Institutions
Empowering the good
“By describing, monitoring, evaluating and communicating trends in human rights you are empowering the good.”
SUZANNE SNIVELY
Former Chair Transparency International New Zealand

“HRMI data, for me as a journalist, is everything”
