[Yosem Companys]

Hi All,

Rahmatullah Faruque, who just joined our list, wrote asking whether you guys
could share your experience and thoughts in relation to effective human
rights reporting procedures and policies in the context of ICT integration.
 The original message is found below.

I hope her question triggers a discussion within the group about this
interesting topic of which I know little.

Best,

Yosem

Dear Yosem,

It's quite pleasing to have your interest to know the impact of ICT in
protecting and promoting human rights. I am pleased to inform you that we,
Relief International has been implementing the human rights based projects
since couple years back with the integration of media. We are promoting
citizen journalism in the urban and semi-urban areas which are deprived of
getting improved ICT based education and there occurs human rights
infringement but hardly appeared before the civil society members due to
lack of available protocols and procedures. So, through introducing the
citizen journalism, community can publish the stories of human rights
infringements with pictures and communicate with the civil society members
around the world.Besides, we are also developing curriculum for  media
professionals for building their capacity for effectively Human rights
reporting

I will be grateful if you share your experience and thoughts in relation to
effective Human rights reporting procedures and policies with the
integration of ICT.

Thanks
Md.Faruque
