Challenge
Violence remains a pressing social issue, yet resources for understanding and addressing it are often scattered and difficult to access. This creates significant barriers for individuals and organizations striving to prevent violence effectively.
"Know More No More Violence" was designed to tackle this problem by serving as a centralized platform that:
Shares knowledge, news, and research.
Highlights policies and actionable solutions for violence prevention.
Empowers users with accessible and informative content.
Fosters meaningful dialogue to drive societal change.
By creating a user-friendly, engaging, and informative platform, the project aspires to become a trusted resource that promotes collaboration and meaningful impact in violence prevention.
Process & Solution
Research & User Understanding
The project started with in-depth research to address the needs of diverse users, including policymakers, researchers, and the general public. Insights from user interviews and competitor analysis highlighted the importance of structuring content for easy access while encouraging community interaction.
Information Architecture (IA)
Based on the findings, a clear IA was designed, organizing the website into five main sections:
Knowledge Hub: A repository of curated research, policies, and actionable practices.
Data & Statistics: A transparent presentation of violence-related data from MOVE (Monitoring Violent Events).
Policies & Guidelines: Showcasing success stories and frameworks from national action plans and international best practices.
Stories & Activities: Personal stories and initiatives from UNDP members worldwide to humanize the issue.
Discussion Rooms: An interactive space for users to exchange ideas, requiring registration for access.
UI/UX Design & Visual Implementation
The interface was designed to be clean, modern, and aligned with UNDP branding. Visual cues like icons and color coding were used to differentiate sections, while a responsive design ensured a seamless experience across devices. Key pages, such as the Knowledge Hub and Discussion Rooms, were created to inspire exploration and engagement while maintaining a professional tone.
Key Features & Functions
Each section was tailored for its purpose:
Knowledge Hub: Offers curated resources and best practices from local and global UNDP networks.
Data & Statistics: Shares factual, up-to-date information on violence-related issues.
Policies & Guidelines: Provides learning opportunities from successful national and international frameworks.
Stories & Activities: Connects users to real-world experiences and impactful initiatives.
Discussion Rooms: Encourages collaboration through moderated discussions and idea sharing.
Impact & Reflection
The "Know More No More Violence" platform has emerged as a valuable resource for individuals and organizations dedicated to violence prevention. While quantitative results are still in progress, initial user feedback emphasizes its role as a trusted hub for knowledge sharing and collaboration.
Key insights from this project include:
The importance of structured content design when tackling complex topics.
The need for engaging visual elements to enhance user interaction.
By focusing on creating a user-friendly, engaging, and informative platform, this initiative aspires to be a go-to resource for collaboratively addressing and preventing violence in a meaningful and impactful way.
