Digital Violence Prevention Beginning in India and now around the world, an app called Safecity enables people to anonymously crowd-map incidents of sexual violence. The crowdsourced data reported to Safecity is aggregated as hotspots on a map. Stakeholders such as individuals, communities, and local leaders can identify local trends, assess contributing factors, and find solutions to improve safety.88 In Mexico, digital tools enable citizens to report instances of sexual violence, drug trafficking, and narco-violence. Mexicans use digital tools to raise awareness about human rights abuses and violence. Women’s digital protests against gender violence, for example, use the hashtags #YoTambien (MeToo), #MiPrimerAcoso (My First Harassment), and #SiMeMatan (If I Am Murdered).89 Wiki_Narco enables Mexicans to report narco-violence through a wiki platform drawing on crowdsourcing data and Google maps to visualize trends across Mexico. The tool allows for a better understanding of incidents of violence, but also of fluctuations in the demarcation lines separating specific cartels. 90 17. Digital Diplomacy, Negotiation and Mediation At the United Nations, diplomats recognise the need to use digital tools to support negotiation and mediation. A new toolkit on “Digital Technologies and Mediation of Armed Conflict” provides diplomats with basic digital media literacy skills, and training in the potential dangers or harms that can accompany the use of digital tools, including social media, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), data analytics, blockchain, virtual reality and machine learning. The toolkit asserts that diplomats and mediators can use digital tools for four key functions of their work: 1) conflict analysis, 2) engaging with parties in conflict to build trust, 3) the inclusion of more stakeholders in mediation processes, and 4) strategic communication.91 The toolkit suggests when, where, and why technologies can be helpful during different phases of a mediation process and in accordance with the mediation strategy. The UN’s webpage on the “Digital Mediation Toolkit” is supplemented with video interviews and For more information on Games for Peace see their website at http://www.gamesforpeace.org For more information on SafeCity see their website at https://safecity.in 89 Dubravka Šimonović. “La violencia en línea contra las mujeres en México,” Mexico: Luchadoras.
