HuriSearch is the first and only comprehensive Web search engine
specializing in human rights. Operating in 77 languages, it lets users
tap into millions of web pages published by some 5,000 human rights
groups. 

It is just one resource in a set of information tools designed and made
publicly available by the international human rights network HURIDOCS. 
HURIDOCS was founded during the 1980s. Over the years IDRC has funded
several of its initiatives.

A Canadian information specialist and rights advocate, Judith Dueck,
helped develop HuriSearch. “It looks at the websites of even very
small organizations,” she says. “Content from these sites would
never be found by a large search engine like Google. But they can be
found by ours.”
