In some situations, messaging apps may be the only way that people caught up in armed conflict or crises can communicate with family, friends or humanitarian organisations. Many messaging apps have features that could help humanitarian organisations to reach people who would otherwise be impossible to contact, or to collect information that would otherwise be inaccessible. This information can save lives. Some humanitarian organisations have already started using messaging apps to communicate with people and coordinate their activities – and many others are thinking about it. But there’s still a lot that we don’t know. How and why are people affected by crises or armed conflict actually using messaging apps? When and how is it appropriate to introduce a new technology that not everyone will be able to access? Could communicating with people through these communication channels put them at greater risk? ―― View topic http://groups.dowire.org/r/topic/4j4xLGFUbytoD7S2NQdNpJ Leave group mailto:newswire@groups.dowire.org?subject=Unsubscribe
