FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B: SEXUAL VIOLENCE/RAPE AS A WEAPON OF WAR EXPENSES = $991,497 RAPE IS A PART OF LIFE FOR ALL TOO MANY WOMEN, MEN, GIRLS, AND BOYS IN KENYA, THE CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC, MYANMAR, AND THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO (DRC), WHERE POST-ELECTION VIOLENCE AND IMPUNITY, AND DECADES OF CONFLICT, RESPECTIVELY, HAVE MADE SEXUAL VIOLENCE VIRTUALLY ENDEMIC. HEALTH PROFESSIONALS IN THESE COUNTRIES ARE OFTEN THE FIRST TO RESPOND TO RAPE SURVIVORS, BUT MANY HAVE LITTLE TRAINING IN THE FORENSIC COLLECTION AND DOCUMENTATION OF EVIDENCE. AS A RESULT, MANY CASES OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE ARE NOT PURSUED OR RESULT IN ACQUITTALS FOR LACK OF EVIDENCE. PHR'S PROGRAM ON SEXUAL VIOLENCE IN CONFLICT ZONES WAS CREATED TO CHANGE THAT. WE UNDERSTAND THAT SURVIVORS HAVE THE BEST CHANCE AT JUSTICE WHEN ALL SECTORS COLLABORATE TO PROSECUTE CASES OF RAPE AND OTHER SEXUAL VIOLENCE, AND PHR'S SPECIAL CONTRIBUTION STEMS FROM OUR UNIQUE CROSS-SECTORAL APPROACH: WE TRAIN PROFESSIONALS FROM THE MEDICAL, LAW ENFORCEMENT, LEGAL, AND JUDICIAL SECTORS TO WORK TOGETHER TO COLLECT, DOCUMENT, PROTECT, AND INTERPRET EVIDENCE OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE. TO DATE, PHR'S EXPERTS AND OUR COLLEAGUES HAVE TRAINED MORE THAN 2,400 DOCTORS, NURSES, POLICE OFFICERS, LAWYERS, AND JUDGES TO USE FORENSIC SCIENCE TO HOLD PERPETRATORS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE TO ACCOUNT AND TO BRING JUSTICE TO SURVIVORS. PHR HAS INTRODUCED SEVERAL IMPORTANT INNOVATIONS WHICH ARE TRANSFORMING THE FIGHT AGAINST SEXUAL VIOLENCE: A STANDARDIZED MEDICAL FORM TO HELP DOCTORS AND NURSES THROUGHOUT THE DRC TO THOROUGHLY AND ACCURATELY DOCUMENT COURT-ADMISSIBLE EVIDENCE OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE; TOOLS TO SUPPORT VICTIM AND WITNESS PROTECTIONS, SPECIFICALLY FOR CHILD SURVIVORS; AND MEDICAPT, AN AWARD-WINNING MOBILE APPLICATION THAT EMPOWERS THE MEDICAL, LEGAL, AND LAW ENFORCEMENT PROFESSIONALS WE TRAIN TO SECURELY STORE AND SAFELY SHARE THAT FORENSIC EVIDENCE FOR USE IN JUSTICE SETTINGS. MEDICAPT ALLOWS DOCTORS AND NURSES EXAMINING SURVIVORS SEXUAL VIOLENCE TO DIRECTLY INPUT ONTO A MOBILE DEVICE STANDARD MEDICAL INFORMATION, TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS OF SURVIVORS' INJURIES, AND UPLOAD RECORDS TO SECURE SERVERS. THIS PROCESS OVERCOMES SOME OF THE ENTRENCHED PROBLEMS OF BRINGING SEXUAL VIOLENCE CASES TO TRIAL: CLINICIANS SUBMITTING INCOMPLETE OR UNINTELLIGIBLE REPORTS, EVIDENCE BEING LOST, STOLEN, OR TAMPERED WITH, CLINICIANS AND POLICE BEING TARGETED BY PERPETRATORS WHO WANT TO SUPPRESS EVIDENCE - EVEN THE ABSENCE OF PAPER AND PENCILS TO DOCUMENT EVIDENCE, OR OF VEHICLES AND ROADS TO DELIVER FILES TO POLICE STATIONS. ULTIMATELY, WE HOPE TO MAKE IT AN OPEN-ACCESS TOOL AVAILABLE TO CLINICIANS GLOBALLY FOR DOCUMENTATION PURPOSES.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C: ASYLUM: SAFEGUARDING IMMIGRANT RIGHTS AT THE U.S. MEXICO BORDER EXPENSES = $271,211 AFTER THE 2016 ELECTION, THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION INTRODUCED A DISASTROUS SERIES OF POLICIES AT THE BORDER WHICH RESULTED IN THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN SEPARATED FROM THEIR PARENTS, AND INCREASED NUMBER OF CHILDREN AND ADULTS DYING IN U.S. FEDERAL CUSTODY, AND TENS OF THOUSANDS FORCED TO REMAIN IN DANGEROUS MEXICAN BORDER STATES. IN RESPONSE, PHYSICIANS FOR HUMAN RIGHTS LAUNCHED RESEARCH AND ADVOCACY INITIATIVES WHICH DOCUMENTED THE HEALTH AND HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS CAUSED BY THESE POLICIES AND CREATED PRESSURE FOR CHANGE. PHR'S RESEARCH REPORT "YOU WILL NEVER SEE YOUR CHILD AGAIN": THE PERSISTENT PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF FAMILY SEPARATION CONTAINED GROUND-BREAKING PSYCHIATRIC DOCUMENTATION OF THE PRACTICE OF FAMILY SEPARATION AS TORTURE AND ENFORCED DISAPPEARANCE, AND WAS COVERED BY MEDIA OUTLETS THE GUARDIAN, VICE, THE LOS ANGELES TIMES, THE INTERCEPT, TELEMUNDO, AND NEWSWEEK, AS WELL AS BEING MENTIONED REPEATEDLY IN BY MSBNC CORRESPONDENT JACOB SOBOROFF DURING HIS REPORTING ABOUT THE BORDER. WHEN THE PANDEMIC HIT IN MARCH 2020, PHR ASYLUM NETWORK MEMBERS INITIATED A FLURRY OF ADVOCACY AND PROGRAMMATIC INITIATIVES, FROM NUMEROUS OP-EDS AND MEDIA INTERVIEWS ABOUT THE IMPACT OF THE PANDEMIC ON IMMIGRANTS, ASYLUM SEEKERS AND PEOPLE IN DETENTION, TO PROVIDING EXPERT DECLARATIONS ON THE DANGERS OF COVID TO SUPPORT LAWSUITS AROUND THE COUNTRY WHICH RESULTED IN THE RELEASE OF OVER 400 PEOPLE WITH COMORBIDITIES FROM IMMIGRATION DETENTION AND PRISON. PHR ALSO WORKED WITH OTHER LEADING ORGANIZATIONS TO DEVELOP IN-DEPTH PUBLIC HEALTH RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROCESSING FAMILIES, CHILDREN AND ADULTS SEEKING ASYLUM OR OTHER PROTECTION AT THE BORDER DURING THE PANDEMIC. PHR'S DOCTORS AND OTHER HEALTH PROFESSIONALS SERVED AS A VOICE OF MEDICINE AND SCIENCE DURING THE UNPRECEDENTED PANDEMIC, WHILE KEEPING HUMAN RIGHTS PRINCIPLES AT THE CENTER OF OUR RECOMMENDATIONS. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D: OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES EXPENSES = $2,637,810 OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES ARE A COMBINATION OF PHYSICIANS FOR HUMAN RIGHTS, INC. (PHR)'S ADVOCACY AND COMMUNICATIONS IN SUPPORT OF OUR PROGRAMMATIC WORK, AND PROGRAM GENERAL (COVID RELATED WORK, POLICE EXCESSIVE FORCE). PHR LEVERAGED THE NETWORKS TO MOBILIZE A GLOBAL COMMUNITY OF HUMAN RIGHTS ADVOCATES, MAGNIFYING THE IMPACT AND WIELDING THE POWER OF FACTS AGAINST THE GREATEST PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY OF PHR'S TIME. PHR SPOKE OUT LOCALLY, NATIONALLY, AND INTERNATIONALLY TO PROTECT HEALTH WORKERS AND THEIR PATIENTS, AND CONVENED THE BRIGHTEST MINDS TO ADVOCATE FOR SCIENCE- AND RIGHTS-BASED APPROACHES TO THE PANDEMIC. AND DESPITE THE CONSTRAINTS OF COVID-19, PHR CONTINUED EXPOSING THE HARMS OF CROWD-CONTROL WEAPONS DEPLOYED AGAINST RACIAL JUSTICE PROTESTORS. TO PROTECT PEOPLE EXERCISING THEIR RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY AND SPEECH, WE PUBLISHED AN ARRAY OF GUIDES AND FACT SHEETS ON THE MEDICAL IMPACTS OF TEAR GAS AND KIPS. AND IN LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL SETTINGS, PHR'S ADVOCACY TEAM USED OUR RESEARCH AND EXPERTISE TO SUCCESSFULLY CALL FOR RESTRICTIONS ON WEAPONS AND EXCESSIVE FORCE. PHR DOCUMENTED THE RENEWED TARGETING AND DESTRUCTION OF HEALTH FACILITIES AND THE DENIAL OF VITAL SERVICES TO MILLIONS OF SYRIANS. PHR'S HIGHLY RESPECTED DATA - WHICH IS SHARED WITH INDEPENDENT REPORTING AND ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISMS, AND WIDELY USED BY DECISION-MAKERS AND BY THE MEDIA - WILL ONE DAY HELP FRAME THE PROSECUTION OF THESE CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. BUILDING FORENSIC CAPACITY IN IRAQ IN THE SUMMER OF 2014, A REIGN OF TERROR DESCENDED ON NORTHERN IRAQ AS ISIS FIGHTERS OVERRAN THE DISTRICT OF SINJAR AND SURROUNDING VILLAGES, MASSACRING MEN FROM THE YAZIDI ETHNIC MINORITY AND KIDNAPPING THOUSANDS OF WOMEN AND GIRLS INTO SEXUAL SLAVERY. GIRLS AS YOUNG AS EIGHT YEARS OLD WERE BOUGHT AND SOLD, SOME REPEATEDLY, AND SUBJECTED TO HARROWING TORTURE AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE. THOUGH MANY CAPTIVES HAVE ESCAPED OR BEEN FREED, SOME 2,800 YAZIDIS ARE STILL MISSING. THE UN SECRETARY-GENERAL HAS APPOINTED AN INVESTIGATIVE TEAM TO SUPPORT DOMESTIC EFFORTS TO HOLD ISIS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE WAR CRIMES, CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, AND GENOCIDE COMMITTED IN IRAQ. IT IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT TO BUILD CONSENSUS ABOUT ADDRESSING ALL HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS, INCLUDING TORTURE, PARTICULARLY THE WIDESPREAD PRACTICE OF TORTURING DETAINEES IN PRISONS AND DETENTION SETTINGS IN ORDER TO EXTRACT CONFESSIONS. TO HELP SECURE JUSTICE FOR SURVIVORS AND WITNESSES OF THESE ATROCITIES, PHR IS SPEARHEADING AN EFFORT TO TRAIN LOCAL MEDICAL, LEGAL, AND JUSTICE PROFESSIONALS ON HOW TO PRODUCE MEDICAL-LEGAL DOCUMENTATION OF TORTURE AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE BASED ON INTERNATIONAL NORMS. THE GOAL OF PHR'S PROJECT IS TO STRENGTHEN ACCOUNTABILITY FOR HUMAN RIGHTS CRIMES AS A CRUCIAL ELEMENT OF TRANSITIONAL JUSTICE IN IRAQ USING FORENSIC TECHNIQUES AND TO SUPPORT VICTIMS' QUEST FOR JUSTICE AND REPARATIONS. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS GOAL, PHR HAS WORKED TO BUILD THE FOUNDATION OF A MULTISECTORAL NETWORK OF PROFESSIONALS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY WHO CAN WORK TOGETHER TO ADVANCE JUSTICE IN IRAQ. TO FURTHER PURSUE THESE OBJECTIVES PHR WILL: 1) PROMOTE ACCOUNTABILITY BY BRINGING TOGETHER AND BUILDING CAPACITY AMONG MEDICAL, LAW ENFORCEMENT, LEGAL, AND JUDICIAL PROFESSIONALS FROM THE KURDISTAN REGIONAL GOVERNMENT AND THE IRAQI CENTRAL GOVERNMENT AND CIVIL SOCIETY TO COLLECT, ANALYZE, AND PRESERVE MEDICAL-LEGAL EVIDENCE FOR USE IN INVESTIGATIONS AND PROSECUTIONS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE CASES; AND 2) ENSURE THAT WITNESSES AND VICTIMS OF TORTURE, INCLUDING SEXUAL VIOLENCE, ARE ABLE TO ACCESS HIGH QUALITY MEDICAL-LEGAL EVALUATIONS AND THAT THOSE WHO CONDUCT THE EVALUATIONS AND SUBSEQUENTLY USE THE EVIDENCE ARE TRAINED TO WORK WITH VICTIMS IN A MANNER THAT IS RESPECTFUL, COMPETENT, AND MINIMIZES RE-TRAUMATIZATION. THIS WORK IS PART OF AN OVERALL EFFORT TO SUPPORT THE COLLECTION OF EVIDENCE OF CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, WAR CRIMES, AND GENOCIDE.
