 Fruchterman, President and CEO, The Benetech Initiative; Laureate, The 2003 
 Tech Museum Awards    Tom Parks, Director of Information Communication 
 Technology, The Asia Foundation    From Aceh, to Cambodia, one of the 
 toughest challenges for human rights monitors and NGOs is the safe-keeping 
 and management of information vital to the protection of human rights. If 
 information is successfully shared, it can often lead to successful 
 prosecutions or international pressure resulting in real change. Recently 
 developed applications in IT can help to solve these challenges. Benetech 
 is on the front lines, developing the Martus data management system to 
 order the information chaos so that human rights information is shared 
 quickly and easily. These new tools are revolutionizing human rights 
 reporting. Join us to learn about the realities, challenges, and exciting 
 opportunities of applying IT to empower human rights workers in Asia and 
 beyond.      Cosponsored with The Asia Foundation and Computer
