Hi all,
Thought this might be of interest to this group.
Non-profit Benetech announced today new funding and new technical
developments for their Human Rights Program through which it provides
tools for human rights monitoring, namely, its Mobile Martus project.
"The Mobile Martus prototype allows users to send crucial data from the
field—text, photographs, audio and video—to the Martus network of secure
servers. The data is automatically encrypted on the mobile phone, and
when being sent to the server, so it is protected in case the phone is
lost, stolen or confiscated. The user—or someone they designate—can
later retrieve their data, and can search, analyze and report on the
information, using the Martus client software."

I am not affiliated with this organization but I am aware of the work
they do in the disability sphere, most notably their Bookshare[1]
initiative, "the world’s largest online library for individuals with
print disabilities".
Best regards,
Catherine
