By supporting casualty recorders around the world we help bring closure to families, truth to societies, and perpetrators to justice.
Every Casualty Counts has worked for over a decade with a range of casualty recorders across the globe, to help them document lives lost to armed violence with accuracy, transparency, and integrity.
We have developed standards for casualty recording which guide practice around the world, and we have changed the way military forces think about documenting harm to civilians. We have provided guidance, training and resources to dozens of organisations, helping them improve the quality of their work and ensure their own safety.
