What kinds of news, stories and other content will be created?
With this platform women can freely narrate past GBV experiences, share advices with other women. There would be instant news on GBV emerging trends and share instant free information on gender based reporting and justice to victims.
our organization will be instigating debate like messages where women can freely give their feedback through short messaging service. our host server can then relay their feedback into the social network face book.
What technologies and digital tools do you plan to use in the trainings?
Describe the connections that you or your organization have already established that will contribute to the success of the project.
Our organization works with over 10 women groups and in each groups are at least 10 women and we believe that introducing this idea to these women can really circulate very fast and any information relayed to them can be shared to the rest community in a very short time time and subsequently, any new trend can be reported instantly via our sever to the Internet based face book social platform.
How many participants do you think will be involved in your project?
With the workable 10 women groups, training 2 women in each group can transform the rest with the idea behind the initiative. In seeking to sustain their participation, the trained women will elect a secretariat which will be responsible in rally the rest members behind the platform. Our organization also will research on very involving topics that are on interest to women to sustain their contributions and equal participation.
Besides the microgrant funding, what other resources and support are you seeking for your project to ensure its success?
Besides the micro grant funding, our organization would really appreciate more if Rising Voices can capacity build 1 or 2 of our project personnel, provide us with IEC materials on Gender based violence against women and young girls, at least 2 digital cameras for photo taking and sharing.
