[Air-L] ICTs and the Right to Life - Suggestions re Case Studies?

[S.Livingstone at lse.ac.uk]

May I suggest anonymous online help and advice services for children being abused by their family or otherwise in need of help outside their immediate circle?

Best, Sonia

Hello all,

I'm part of a research committee at Cambridge, working to produce a report on the effects of ICTs on the right to life for UN special rapporteur Christof Heyns. Below is a link to the project:

https://www.cghr.polis.cam.ac.uk/research-themes/right_to_life/ICTs_right_to_life/ICTs_homepage

We will be building up case studies on instances where ICTs can be used to prevent infringement on the right to life, provide better forms of accountability, and allow for more effective advocacy. So I'm searching for apps, organizations, and/or platforms in these arenas to profile. 
(Some examples: Amnesty's Panic Button app and Citizen Evidence Lab, various social media platforms and other communication platforms (Skype, Tor), Witness' model of video advocacy, predictive escalation projects re big data, crowdmapping/crowdsourcing efforts, Thunderclap, Access' 
Digital Security Helpline...)

Does anyone have any general suggestions or can anyone point towards standouts or up-and-coming projects in this arena? At this stage, we're still trying to thoroughly suss out the landscape and make contacts.

Thanks in advance!

Rebekah Larsen
