Movement Strategy/Initiatives/Safety assessment and execution plan

Develop a safety assessment and execution plan

Providing for Safety and Inclusion involves understanding the safety needs of the Movement and developing a plan to respond to those needs. The needs assessment will consist of a research phase. Based on the research, a plan can be designed to improve safety across the movement. Some of the outputs of this plan could include: providing therapy support, offering legal assistance, and reacting to political unrests in certain regions.

Research and develop an adaptable safety assessment and execution plan, as well as rapid response and support infrastructure. This would ensure that on- and offline contributors have available resources ready and accessible to mitigate the harm caused by their Wikimedia activities, including:
psychological support (e.g., therapists, counselors, mediators),

technical support (e.g., anonymization mechanisms),

legal assistance (e.g., list of partner lawyers, facilitation of legal representation at a local level),

a fast-track escalation path in life-threatening situations,

procedures for reacting to large scale challenges, such as socio-political unrest and environmental threats,

training and opportunities to raise awareness and build response capacity for community safety and conflict management.
