Advocacy becomes more effective when it is data-based rather than opinion-based.
Brett Solomon, during the Closing Session
[Kids bullying kids] is very tricky. Both the bully and the bullied are children, and both have rights…. but you can only have your rights as long as you don’t step on the rights of others.

The Dakila workshop in the Demo Room. Participants used gamification to match human rights needs with technology tools.
Tactics for Livestreaming (A WITNESS Workshop)
Some of the items we discussed:
- How can we leverage the numbers of livestream audiences to protect people against violence? How can we bring the audience “into the room” with activists working on the ground?
- How can we use live video to build empathy and engagement? Can you really give people a view into, say, a place like Aleppo?
- Can live video provide a moment for shared joy? Live video brings a world into moments of solidarity and emotional bonding, like a pride rally in Uganda.
- Rapid reaction: how can we go live quickly when something’s going wrong? Activists in China will just switch on the Skype camera so someone can see and record it.
- Ask people who watch to do something specific, e.g., crowdsourcing for identifying abusive police officers in protests.
- Work with expert analysts who are viewing. For instance, could a legal expert advise a livestreamer on the types of footage they should be capturing?
- Consider your audience: could livestreaming be done with a private audience? Does it always have to be a large broadcast?
