The Uyghur Transitional Justice Database (UTJD) recently attended at the CITW Conference held in Taipei, Taiwan. This international event provided UTJD with a unique platform to present their groundbreaking work to a global audience.
At the heart of UTJD’s presence was an innovative exhibition featuring virtual reality (VR) technology. Through this immersive experience, conference attendees were transported into the world of UTJD’s advocacy efforts, gaining a firsthand perspective on the challenges faced by the Uyghur population in East Turkistan.
The exhibition showcased the power of 3D modeling technology, combining survivor testimonies, witness accounts, high-resolution satellite imagery, and official data to construct immersive representations of concentration camps. By stepping into these virtual environments, attendees were able to grasp the harsh realities of the Uyghur crisis in a tangible and impactful way.
UTJD’s presence at the CITW Conference provided an invaluable opportunity to engage with a diverse audience and raise awareness about the urgent need for justice and accountability in East Turkistan. The exhibition sparked meaningful conversations, fostering dialogue and collaboration among conference attendees.
As UTJD continues to push the boundaries of advocacy through technology, their presence at the CITW Conference serves as a testament to their commitment to amplifying the voices of the Uyghur community and advocating for their rights on the global stage. Through innovative approaches like virtual reality, UTJD is paving the way for a more informed and empathetic understanding of the Uyghur crisis, bringing us one step closer to achieving justice and accountability for all.
