TECH VS. ABUSE PROJECT
techvsabuse.info
In 2016, Chayn partnered with Comic Relief, along with Safe Lives and We Are Snook, to launch a groundbreaking project Tech VS Abuse to explore and investigate the role of digital technologies in supporting victims of domestic abuse.
The project led to eye opening evidence that led to a better understanding pertaining to domestic violence and how online media could be leveraged as a tool empowering victims and people in chronic abusive relationships.
This episode was recorded and published in 2017 on soundcloud.

This episode is in Urdu.
Our founder, Hera Hussain sits down with two fellow Pakistanis - Nighat Dad, internationally celebrated activist and human rights defender and Kanwal Ahmed, a pioneer who is changing the entertainment industry's landscape with human stories.
Kanwal Ahmed started the Soul Sisters Pakistan group 6 years ago which has given more than 189 000 women a safe space to be themselves and share their stories. After being selected by Facebook for their Community Leadership Programme (FCLP), Kanwal has been hosting her own talk show, Conversations with Kanwal. which features real-life stories of women, in their own words covering important issues such as domestic abuse, grief, colourism and child labour. Her videos have garnered millions of views online from across the world. Due to her work, hundreds of women reach out to Kanwal every day about their experiences of domestic abuse.
Nighat Dad is a lawyer and the founder of Digital Rights Foundation which works to help Pakistani women fight against online harassment. She is a campaigner for online freedom and contributed to a law against acid attacks. She specializes in family law and cyber law and was named one of TIME magazine's next generation leaders. In 2016, she was awarded the Atlantic Council Digital Freedom Award and Dutch government's Human Rights Tulip award. She became TED Fellow in 2016 and spoke at the TED Global stage. Her Online Harassment helpline supports countless women in Pakistan every month.
And in case you are new to us, here's a bit about us and Hera Hussain. Hera is the Founder of CHAYN - a global volunteer-run project crowdsourcing resources on the web to address gender-based violence. This all started from the original Chayn Pakistan (chaynpakistan.org). Chayn has reached more than 300 000 people through its resources which are designed with survivors of abuse. Hera was on the Forbes 30 Under 30 and MIT Technology Review’s Innovators Under 35 list.

Listen to Hera Hussain (Founder) and Tiffany Lo (UX Team Lead) talk about how CHAYN used Trello, Google docs, Slack and Webflow to collaborate across continents to launch our Getting Better & Moving On guide. If you think syncing with your (salaries) team across time zones is hard, imagine how it was for all our volunteers but we made it work. In this short and sweet episode, we discuss what worked and what didn't.
