ICTs and the Right to Life - Suggestions re Case Studies?
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... 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
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?

Apologies! The link below should be accessible without a login. http://www.cghr.polis.cam.ac.uk/research-themes/right_to_life/ICTs_right_to_... I've also attached a write up of the project to this email. As to the focus of the project, we are aiming to provide an overview of ICT implications on the right to life to the UN Special Rapporteur specifically when it comes to extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions. Thank you for pointing out my neglect to specify the same, Ms. McLaughlin. Thanks again, and apologies again, Rebekah Larsen
This does sound fascinating and I hope you will post a link to the report on this list! But I would suggest that there is an issue of language here for Americans. 'Right to Life' in the U.S. context means those who oppose abortions. I know this is a very narrow meaning (and a contested meaning for those who support abortion rights) but it signifies something very different from the actual focus of your interest. So just wanted to let you know that what you call this will likely make a difference to a US audience response ... for example, I completely misunderstood the focus of the study -- I thought it was about anti-abortion rights activism on line -- until I read further ...

Dear all, I hope this email finds you well. I am conducting a dissertation of the influence of social media on food philosophy and consumption. However, the board of studies suggested that I should focus on a particular a sample size and participants for my study as otherwise due to the variations, the results might be superfluous and ambiguous. Do you think it is possible to take a sample from social media, that is categorise participants according to their ages, and backgrounds.
