INFORM was established in 1990 to monitor and document the human rights situation in Sri Lanka, especially in the context of the ethnic conflict and civil war. We work by reporting on the situation through written and oral interventions at the local, national and international level. INFORM also conducts rights advocacy and awareness building work, including work on policy change.
While a strong focus of our work has been on the conflict, INFORM has also focused on working with other communities whose rights have been frequently and systematically violated. These groups include those such as women; Tamils working in Tea Estates in the hill country; people living with HIV/aids; LGBT Communities; sex workers; and refugee and asylum seekers. This work has been carried out in close collaboration with other human rights groups who focus and specialise in these areas.
