About this event:
Technology can aid in demonstrating the extent of the violence being done to Indigenous women, and to the planet, towards ending these horrors.
We will listen to voices from the War Cry Podcast, in the Pacific Northwest, which shares stories with permission. They have worked with reporter Tammy Ayer of the Yakima Herald toward full documentation of the systemic crimes.
Technology is also used in promoting the Stop Ecocide initiative, towards making ecocide an international crime against humanity.
Climate Trace is now tracking the sources of greenhouse gas pollution, towards accountability and action against devastating pollution.
And UNDP is using technology to offer online educational resources, from interviews to fully online classes, on their Learning for Nature and other platforms. They partnered with our colleagues at Tribal Link to offer the course Indigenous Peoples at the United Nations: Project Access Online.
All of these, and so many more, help us better understand so that we can better defend.
On this final day of the NGO CSW67, this session will be in a meeting format, so we can hear from each other about inspirational technologies geared towards education, accountability, and change.
