Welcome to the new world of “global citizen voice”. New technologies are enabling organizations to rapidly and safely access citizen opinions in every country in the world, including otherwise “closed” societies, to help support the development and implementation of social policy and initiatives.

This interactive panel will bring together leaders from various global rights organizations with deep experience in global citizen engagement, specifically in traditionally hard to reach countries, and from various fields of human rights, including: gender equality, migrant workers, and LGBTQ+ rights.

Each will briefly discuss how they are leveraging innovative technology to access “citizen voice”, particularly among previously “unreachable” populations, in order to inform, design, and maximize the impact of their social initiatives and campaigns, while at the same time ensuring respondents’ anonymity and security. Q+A will follow.
