Building Mobile Tools for Rights Defenders and Activists
Over the past decade, mobile technology has vastly expanded the global reach of activists and rights defenders. As these groups have become increasingly reliant on mobile technology, they have also become increasingly vulnerable to attacks that seek to disrupt their activity and operations. We’ll explore a number of Android applications designed for and used by this community, examining a number of best practices along the way.
