The Challenge

The Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka managed thousands of sensitive cases on paper — no visibility, no tracking, no public accountability. Loons Lab changed that.

Project Overview

What We Built

Commissioned by the Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka through UNDP, this project digitised the core operations of human rights case handling — from the moment a complaint is filed to its final resolution.

The platform serves every level of the organisation — from clerical staff processing intake to commissioners reviewing reports — all through a single unified system with role-appropriate dashboards and controls.

This builds trust between the commission and the public, ensuring complainants are never left wondering about the state of their case.

Case Status Visibility

Victims and reporters see live progress at every stage of their case.

Privacy Protected

Sensitive case data is never exposed — only status and stage are public.

Multiple Intake Channels

Cases accepted via website, walk-in, hotline, and more.

Real-Time Updates

Status updates appear as soon as officers process actions in the system.
