Peter Gabriel has been a long time supporter of witness.org. The Witness program is about human rights. One of their main thrusts has been to empower people that witness human rights violations. A primary means to this end is to provide individuals with cameras so that they can document injustices.

For instance, one of the more recent projects involves helping stop violence against women living near the USA and Mexico boarder.
