Duncan Jepson is Managing Director of Liberty Shared. Starting as a documentary filmmaker, he saw the stark contrast between the ones being filmed and the excited executives. He joins host Gwen Hassan to discuss how Liberty Shared is helping organizations take action against human rights violations. 
 

 
Liberty Shared’s main focus is data gathering and research and intelligence sharing –  gathering information about what happens on the ground then communicating that to individuals, groups, and organizations that can do something in response. “We’re not interested in statistics [or] estimations,” Duncan shares, “we’re interested in data as it is accurate and can produce actionable information and evidence.”
 
The system is flawed and incomplete, he adds. The global economy is profit-oriented, so much so that it operates at the expense of other people, and the chance of anyone being held accountable for their part in it is very limited. Liberty Shared is working to identify those gaps of accountability and close them as much as possible.
