Agencies and technology experts have gathered in London for Communicating with Disaster Affected Communities (or CDAC). Gareth Mitchell joins Erik Hersman, co-founder of Ushahidi, the platform for mapping crisis information and Nigel Snoad, Product Manager, Crisis Response at Google, to discuss the lessons learnt from a number of disasters, including Haiti and Japan, about the role of technology in helping with the recovery. Bell Bajao is a wide-ranging campaign, involving TV, radio, press, mobile video vans, and also the internet to focus attention on domestic violence in India, one of the most recurring, yet least discussed issues, not just India, but all over the world. Click’s Nivedita Pathak talks to Sonali Khan whose organisation Breakthrough is spearheading the campaign about the pivotal role of new technology in focussing attention on the under-reported violent crimes against women.
