In the last 25 years, a major shift has occurred in the field of
violence prevention, from the assumption that violence is
inevitable to the realization that violence is preventable. As we
learn more about what works to reduce violence, the challenge
facing those who work in the field is how to use all of this new
information to rapidly deploy or enhance new programs. At the same
time, new communications technologies and distribution channels
have altered traditional means of communications, and have made
community-based efforts to prevent violence possible by making
information readily available. How can these new technologies be
successfully applied to the field of violence prevention? On
December 8-9, 2011, the IOM's Forum on Global Violence Prevention
held a workshop to explore the intersection of violence prevention
and information and communications technology. The workshop -
called "mPreventViolence" - provided an opportunity for
practitioners to engage in new and innovative thinking concerning
these two fields with the goal of bridging gaps in language,
processes, and mechanisms. The workshop focused on exploring the
potential applications of technology to violence prevention,
drawing on experience in development, health, and the social sector
as well as from industry and the private sector. Communication and
Technology for Violence Prevention: Workshop Summary is the report
that fully explains this workshop.
