Huquqyat conducts investigations through a survivor-centered, gender-sensitive, and community-rooted methodology. We place survivors’ rights, safety, autonomy, and priorities at the center of our work, and ensure that all investigative steps are guided by informed consent, confidentiality, protection, and Do No Harm principles. Our investigations integrate gender analysis from the earliest stages of case selection and planning through evidence collection, legal analysis, submissions, and advocacy. We recognize that grave crimes and human rights violations affect people differently depending on gender and other intersecting identities, and we work to ensure that these differentiated harms are reflected in accountability processes. Huquqyat combines survivor and witness testimonies, legal analysis, open-source and closed-source materials, contextual research, and collaboration with relevant experts to build responsible and legally sound case files. Our aim is to document individual incidents as well as broader patterns of violations and the structures that enabled them. We also place strong emphasis on ethical and secure investigation practices, including trauma-informed interviewing, witness protection, data security, risk assessment, and safe evidence-sharing. Through this approach, Huquqyat seeks to strategically contribute to accountability efforts that are not only legally effective, but also meaningful to survivors and affected communities.
