We live on a finite planet and sometimes our impact on it is greater than we realize. The seemingly isolated actions we take every day, from our choice of morning beverage to our choice of business practices, are often links in a chain of unusual connections we would never have imagined.

The bottom line: The health of business is directly connected to the health of the natural world. And both can grow and flourish—together.

Since more than 15 years, Celine has been working on the reality of war crimes around the world. Through her work in the field, she has met many victims of war crimes, in particular victims of sexual violence and rape and has come to understand the limitations that exist in the ground to help these victims and properly prosecute their assaulters. In this talk, Celine Barden, Founder of WWoW explains how we can use technology to accelerate justice and more effectively fight sexual violence as a strategic tool of oppression in time of conflicts. The world and the international scene is pushing us to think differently on how to respond to rape and sexual violence as a war crime and the Back Up app of the WWoW allows for that: a tool that enables the international aid community to create a better impact and engage fit solutions that actually respond to the real needs of survivors, victims and the people on the ground. Céline Bardet is an international lawyer and criminal investigator specialized in war crimes, international crimes, justice and security issues. Currently, Céline works as an independant expert consultant for the United Nations, the European Union and other international institutions such as Interpol. She has a post graduate degree in International Public Law and International Criminal Law and also holds a diploma of International Criminal Investigation. She is a published author. In 2014, stroke by the massive use of sexual violence in war and fragile environment and the silence around it, she decided to found an NGO called “We are NOT Weapons of War” (WWoW) which aims to make rape as a weapon of war a global public issue by leading awareness campaigns and educating people about this organized process, and its consequences. WWoW also developed a tech tool The Back Up, an encrypted system of alert for survivors and support for investigator and activists enabling them to transfer in a secured manner, elements of information and pieces of evidence. The Back Up enable also survivors to get access to medical psycho social and legal services, where they are. The tool is using IA and the blockchain to ensure authentification of documents and legal cases. Celine Bardet is now creating a think and Do Tank agency called #DisruptJustice focused on international justice and security issues, and how innovation and technology may become the path to make justice and security sector more effective and fair to people it supposed to serve. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
