Using Technology to Support Sexual Assault Survivors in South Sudan
In South Sudan, women face a constant threat of sexual assault. To combat this, an aid group is leveraging technology to quickly locate and assist survivors. Despite challenges such as low internet connectivity, high illiteracy rates, and concerns about data privacy, this innovative approach aims to bridge the gap in support services. By harnessing digital tools, the organisation hopes to enhance the response to sexual violence, ultimately improving the lives of survivors. With the use of technology, such as mobile apps and online platforms, the goal is to provide timely and effective assistance, promoting a safer and more supportive environment for those affected. Key initiatives include digital literacy training and online support networks.
