New Media: Human Rights Video Hub Pilot

 

The Human Rights Video Hub Pilot is a curated global forum focusing on video of, or about, human rights violations.  Minimizing the digital barriers for many around the world, the hub makes it simpler for those without a computer to share human rights abuse stories with audiences from all over.

 

 

 

The jury said:

“This site was recognised as potentially transformative. It was agreed that it sets a benchmark that others must meet in using technology and digital media to bring to light injustices that would not usually be under such global scrutiny, and therefore had the potential to effect real change. It shows how the power of collaboration, distribution and aggregation can amplify the plight of others in an unequal society. It clearly fulfilled the One World Media Awards judging criteria and it was felt that the site provided a much needed portal, space and context, with the support of ethical and thoughtful editorial content, to shine a spotlight on global inequalities.”
