Про нас

Медійна ініціатива за права людини (МІПЛ) — це медійна команда, яка змінює зовнішню і внутрішню політику задля інтеграції України у вільний світ.

Організацію заснували у вересні 2016 року журналістки Марія Томак і Ольга Решетилова. Відразу після створення організації основною діяльністю МІПЛ були журналістські розслідування порушень прав людини з подальшим адвокаційним супроводом справ. Наразі МІПЛ поєднує моніторинг і документування порушень прав людини у зв’язку зі збройною агресією РФ, висвітлення, розслідування окремих епізодів, аналіз зібраних даних та адвокаційні активності. Для команди важливо не лише говорити про проблеми порушень прав людини в окупації та зоні бойових дій, а передусім впливати на їх вирішення та спонукати належну реакцію на них як на національному, так і на міжнародному рівнях.
