A Discussion of Technology for Peace
Media portrayals of child soldiers in movies such as Blood Diamond, are dishearteningly accurate. Many civil wars today are fueled
by child soldiers who are directed by cell phone technology, a key communication instrument of war. In contrast, women directed
by cell phone technology have acted together and enabled peace talks to be successful. How can cell phones and technology
further their voice for peace and peace making? This presentation discusses how cell phone technology and video games can
empower youth and women to promote peacemaking and peace building.
