The Civil Rights Defenders have issued their first batch of GPS bracelets that will alert the CRDs' headquarters, other nearby activists, and the entirety of the CRDs' social media following if the bracelet's owner is ever kidnapped.

The first 5 bracelets were issued from April 2nd through April 5th during the Civil Rights Defenders' conference, Defenders' Days. The CRD plans on issuing 55 of these bracelets over the next year and a half. The bracelets are described as a personal alarm, and the product is called the "Natalia Project". It was named after Natalia Estemirova, a human rights defender who, in 2009, was murdered within 24 hours of being kidnapped.

The GPS bracelet can be activated manually, or if an attacker forcefully removes it from the activist's wrist. The Civil Rights Defenders state that these bracelets could potentially alert hundreds of thousands of people instantly. Build a Network... Crowdmap. Ushahidi :: Home. Tactical Technology Collective.
