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. And SMS text messages via mobile phone can influence behavior, as demonstrated by the catalytic impact of mobile health initiatives globally. PeaceTXT is poised to answer that question.
