We are a community-led human rights organisation focused on Eritrea and Eritrean refugees.
One Day Seyoum (ODS) is a community-led organisation focused on human rights abuses in Eritrea and against Eritrean refugees. We execute targeted campaigns to stop abuses. We produce media, art and events to raise awareness and foster outrage about the issues we work on. We organise capacity building training for activists to increase the strength of the movement. We mobilise our members and wider community to take action.
ODS was founded in 2013 by Vanessa Tsehaye and is named after her uncle Seyoum Tsehaye. Seyoum is one of the journalists imprisoned by the Eritrean government since their crackdown on political opposition and independent media in 2001.
