USAID, Humanity United and OpenIDEO have partnered to pursue ways to prevent m*** atrocities – that is, deliberate m*** violence against civilians. Imagine you were being targeted for or witnessing such atrocities, which sadly include genocide, ethnic cleansing and rape. How could others know so that they might help you and others at risk? Addressing the factors which allow such m*** deliberate violence to happen can be complex. But there are ways that we, as the OpenIDEO community, can help.
To begin, head over to the Brief to learn more. Then, join the Inspiration phase where we explore the issues surrounding this challenge, to inspire our follow-on Ideas phase. During Inspiration we’ll feature Missions each week to tease out different aspects of the challenge topic, starting with 1) Exploring Fear by reflecting on personal experiences, and 2) Tools of Awareness that connect people and information.
Following the selection of winning concepts, Humanity United and USAID will work together to convene key voices, experts and practitioners on atrocity prevention to meet with winners and selected challenge contributors in order to further develop innovations and potentially help pilot these ideas in specific country contexts.
