Victims
Within this database you will come across information that is public or confidential.
Public
Includes victims whose information and details are openly accessible. These victims' profiles, incidents, and related data can be accessed and shared without any restrictions. They contribute to the broader understanding of the impact of war and serve as a resource for research, awareness, and advocacy purposes.
Confidential
We have a confidential information comprising victims whose information is kept private and not readily accessible to the general public. These victims' profiles and associated data are withheld due to security concerns or privacy considerations. Access to this confidential section requires specific authorization and is limited to designated entities such as tribunals, human rights organizations, or individuals who have a legitimate need to access this sensitive information. To gain access to the confidential information, kindly submit a request to AHRDO using the contact us form.
By maintaining this distinction between public and confidential information, we aim to balance the need for transparency and awareness with the imperative of protecting the privacy and security of those involved.
Our Voices
In 2011, AHRDO created the Memory Box Initiative with the purpose of supporting victims and survivors in preserving and recalling the memories of their loved ones, amplifying their voices, and advocating for the establishment of genuine reconciliation through a comprehensive truth-seeking process.
A Memory Box is a box containing memorial items donated by the families and friends of war victims to remember their loved ones. Building upon the success of the Memory Box Initiative, in 2019, AHRDO's efforts led to the establishment of the Afghanistan Centre for Memory and Dialogue (ACMD), which represented the first memorial centre for war victims in Afghanistan.
