A RECORD BUILT ON TRUST
Evidence first.
Every story matters.
Read how OIM separates reported accounts, established facts and unanswered questions.
Read our editorial method ↗How OIM develops a view →THE BLACK LEDGER METHOD
Beyond the headline.
A careful record.
Reporting, interpretation, proposals and comparison.
Four distinct steps. Evidence at each one.
WHY KEEP A LEDGER?
A life is more
than a headline.
A permanent record of reported incidents affecting Indian men and boys. We follow the questions, distinguish the evidence and keep what happened next in view. A record is not a verdict.
