H.I.D.E.  is a human rights documentation project founded by students at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and now fiscally sponsored by the Mauritanian Network for Human Rights in the U.S. (MNHRUS). 

​

H.I.D.E is a digital active archive focused on documenting contemporary human rights abuses faced by the Haratine in Mauritania. The goal is for the digital-active archive to be used within active human rights, legal advocacy, and litigation efforts. 

​

Through interviews, we document the oral experiences of Haratine Participants while collecting written and visual evidence about their experiences. 

​

This website represents our efforts to raise awareness of the conditions of Haratine and current human rights abuses in Mauritania.

This website contains a public version of our archive intended for awareness-raising. As such, the following archival entries are subject to increased censorship to protect the identity of our participants.
