Deployments of the Week
Ushahidi roots are in citizen voices. We recognize Porlosquefaltanenmexico and Desaparicionesas our Deployments of the Week. Together they are part of the #YoSoyRed movement - an Intelligence Collective. We've heard much in the news about Mexico. We encourage anyone to plan for security measures for their deployment. Ushahidi has documented some resources on our wiki, but we highly recommend formal training to keep you and those you map about out of harm's way. About #YoSoyRed: PorTodosLosDesaparecidos is an initiative which seeks direct contact between the victims, citizens, family and media. The goal is to record the 27 thousand missing that the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has registered.
