Friends of Sabeel. PeaceTXT: Using Mobile Technology to End Violence. When violence threatens to break out on city streets, in the run-up to an election, or in a land dispute, how can community leaders instantly reach out to urge calm and quash false rumors?
It turns out that the key may already be in our pockets: the mobile phone. PeaceTXT builds on the proven success of one-on-one violence prevention programs and is exploring the potential of mobile technology to reach more people in high-risk situations more quickly, stopping violence and creating a more durable peace. Separately, two PeaceTXT tactics have already been shown to work. Person-to-person efforts to interrupt and prevent violence by treating it like an infectious disease have proven effective.
