DOAM - Documenting Oppression Against Muslims

The last few years have witnessed an entrenching of violence against marked segments of the global muslim citizenry. The unfolding of ‘hate’- this violence against Muslims, though not new, has taken an increasingly political and institutional character in the rapidly changing socio-political scenario. Organized and institutional violence by state and allied groups- through myriad acts of omission, commission and nurturing- have reinforced existing vulnerabilities, producing new and deepening forms of abuse and marginalization.

Responding to this systemic violence from a rights and community based approach, we feel the need for increased institutional and social vigilance through deepening engagement with democratic institutions and rights mechanisms.

Most importantly, we seek to entrench community based reporting and intervention through a common documentation platform for civil society of marginalized groups: DOAM database. A platform that addresses both immediate and long-term issues related to the systemic violation of fundamental rights, erosion of constitutional values and the organization and deployment of ‘hate’. The app would basically function as a muslim news app providing information on the injustices committed against muslim population.
