Map of attacks on migrants in Athens

About
While the rise of neo-nazism in Greece has been reported widely, the extent of the violence and the spread of everyday racism is not very well understood in the rest of Europe. The aim of this map is to act as a constantly updated public record of these attacks and as a tool for organising and communicating amongst anti-fascist/ anti-racist initiatives.

Methodologically this map is based on crowdsourcing, this means that everyone can submit information about an incident. Every effort is made for the information to be verified, but this is not always possible. In that case incidents are not published or if they are published are flagged as unverified. If you have evidence that any of the incidents are unverified or false please contact us.

But who are we? We are a group doing research on the impact of the crisis on urban spaces in Athens, including the rise in racist violence in the city and beyond. The map has been developed as part of our project “City at a Time of Crisis”:

We are unaffiliated with any political party and several of us have been active in the area of counter information across Europe for some years. As part of the project we are initiating a network of trusted sources. Feel free to contact us if you want to get involved.

You can also submit information to the map by emailing
info@crisis-scape.net

or by filling in the form directly on this website. We will then verify the report by checking additional sources where possible, and then allow the incident to appear on the map.

Reports can be submitted anonymously but require that you submit an email address so that we can contact you if we need to clarify any details (all email addresses will be secure and hidden from the public). We accept reports in most languages and will translate them into English for the map.

FrontlineSMS: How to Create a #Mobile Newsroom for Disaster Reporting | Geojournalism Handbook

FrontlineSMS is a free, open source software that turns a laptop and a mobile phone or modem into a central communications hub to facilitate structured communication between members of the network and the public.

Once installed, the program enables users to send, receive, and manage incoming and outgoing SMS messages, including multimedia messaging. Because it uses text messaging technology, it offers (...) a low-cost option to setup a central communication hub for its journalism projects.

All data lives on the computer, rather than on a server controlled by someone else so the communication manager has better control to traffic information sent to the network.

Our History

►http://legacy.ushahidi.com “Ushahidi”, which means “testimony” in Swahili, was a website that was initially developed to map reports of violence in Kenya after the post-election fallout at the beginning of 2008. Since then, the name “Ushahidi” has come to represent the people behind the “Ushahidi Platform”. Our roots are in the collaboration of Kenyan citizen journalists during a time of crisis. The original website was used to map incidents of violence and peace efforts throughout the country based on reports submitted via the web and mobile phones. This website had 45,000 users in Kenya, and was the catalyst for us realizing there was a need for a platform based on it, which could be used by others around the world.

Since early 2008 we have grown from an ad hoc group of volunteers to a focused organization. Our current team is comprised of individuals with a wide span of experience ranging from human rights work to software development. We have also built a strong team of volunteer developers primarily in Africa, but also Europe, South America and the U.S.
