Human Rights SMS
The Human Rights SMS portal is part of the European Commission funded project ‘Transparency for Human Rights’ implemented by Relief International in Bangladesh. It promotes enforcements of human rights (HR) at the grassroots and government levels, and strengthens the capacity of the civil society to act as active advocates for HR in 20 districts of Bangladesh.
The SMS Portal empowers marginalized communities by disseminating and exchanging critical HR information through use of mobile technology. It enables local journalists, youth and community members to report occurrences of HR violations. This portal maintains a hotline service which allows program participants to report human rights violations using SMS. In order to reach a wider audience, every report submitted through SMS is archived and displayed on the website. Moreover, the portal delivers pertinent information such as HR related public announcement, existing laws and policies, news, events, incidences of rights violations directly to its subscriber’s mobile phones through SMS alert system.
The Human Rights SMS portal can be an effective and interactive advocacy and campaigning tool to protest and report HR violations, especially in communities where the need for advocacy and awareness is acute.
