This report provides a guide for how to use Uwazi to get the most from your data. In addition to an overview of the platform, you can find dedicated sections on:

  • Getting Started with Uwazi

  • Data Analysis and Visualisation
  • Best Practices for Document Security and Privacy.

There are also resources to learn more, and two real-world case studies. These cover how TGEU uses Uwazi for our Anti-Trans Violence and Trans Murder Monitoring projects.

Who is this guide for?

This guide is specifically designed for human rights advocates collaborating on TGEU’s projects – the Anti-Trans Violence and Trans Murder Monitoring projects. If you would like to become a collaborator on these projects, please reach out to amanita@tgeu.org.
