Mobile Devices and Smart Gadgets in Human Rights

In recent years, technology has permeated every aspect of daily life and has drastically increased accessibility and empowerment for all demographics. Smart technologies and mobile applications now have the ability to promote and protect the basic rights of children, women, and men alike. A child's right to education and mental growth or a woman's socio-economic stability and protection from physical, sexual, and emotional abuse can all be attributed to these advancements. Mobile Devices and Smart Gadgets in Human Rights provides emerging research exploring the theoretical and practical applications of technology in relation to human ethical treatment and interactions. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as public safety, augmented reality, and safety apps, this book is ideally designed for researchers, students, activists, academicians, policymakers, and government officials seeking current research on the influence of portable technologies in human rights and ethics.
