I really learned a lot about how human rights and the internet are connected.
Ebele, this is quite an informative interview. The panties threw me off track for a minute but believe me they got my attention. I wanted to read what they had to do with Yahoo. You might have added a Jimmy Lewis blues song with those. You get a 5 for attention grabbing.:-)

Thanks for posting the interview. We are very isolated in the U.S. and do not hear or read enough about what is going on globally, although somethings are affecting us directly.

With all the negative press that surrounds the internet at times, its great to hear that it is also fostering
Social change. Not so sure about the ‘huge pink panties’…but I certainly appreciate the effort. :-)
Great article Ebele!

Is anyone disturbed by the panties in the ad? I just don’t think the granny panties send the right message. I think a thong would have sent a stronger message. A thong says, “I am an independent woman and I don’t care if there is a string up my butt and if I want to celebrate Valentines Day or any other day and go to a pub or any place else for that matter, it is my prerogative to do so and not you or anyone else is going to tell me what I can and cannot do!!!” I applaud these ladies for their effort, but they could use a little marketing help from a certain expert marketer that used to work for Nike. Those panties in the ad are simply heinous! But on a more serious note, I thought it was a great article on how the internet (and surprisingly panties) can be used regarding bringing attention to human rights and women’s issues. Ebele, Yahoo is lucky to have such a bright and creative shining star who can make even pink panties relevant to a serious issue.

Nice interview, very interesting information on how the internet can be to used to help people become more aware of social issues. The pink panties was certainly an attention grabber.

It is fascinating to find out the various ways the Internet has become one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful, tool worldwide for communication, information, innovation and real social change. It was evident, the Internet revolutionized the political process in the U.S. and your blog documents how it is mobilizing people across the world. Thanks for sharing this information.
