We asked 50 human rights advocates
what is info-activism?
It's about using new spaces that have opened up because of the internet and new media as well
even cheaper forms of digital technology whether it's video or other platforms such as online publishing
It has to be people-centred. It has to be participatory
and it has to involve the strategic use of different communication tools
And we asked
how have you
turned information into action?
Torture crimes were rarely mentioned on television
So torture in Egypt highlighted it
A project I was involve with
was the featured layers on the Darfur crisis in Google Earth
It greatly raised awareness of the issues there
We developed a system that uses short code SMS
and we get people sending in queries about the amount of money that has been allocated for projects
One of the things we did was to help people find out where to vote
Using technologies you can combine the collective voice of people
During that period when we started we discovered different uses for it
In organising relief work and in facilitating reconstruction later on
The fact that 700 people got together and took a rally out
was a great thing and it was one of the biggest impacts that we've had
By making people laugh about dangerous stuff
like dictatorship, oppression, censorship
that became like a narrative platform to build an actual movement
that is demanding democratic reform
and it's about making use of all these new spaces to do
you know, to do old fashioned activism
