I work in the world of human rights, seeking to educate and activate mainstream audiences to stand up to abuse and injustice. I've spent long periods in both the Former Yugoslavia and Sierra Leone assisting post-conflict transition processes; but I also support civil rights and social development closer to home, in the US and my native UK. My personal belief is that you get human rights messages across most effectively by using popular vehicles like music, sport, entertainment, video – and of course, the Internet. That's why I'm working with WITNESS and Global Voices on this Human Rights Video Hub.
