Edit some Love
Cyberbullying is the most accessible form of evil the internet spews. A TED website moderator once found that people who spew hatred tend to only do so in places they feel welcomed http://ideas.ted.com/want-to-help-prevent-online-bullying-comment-on-facebook/.
Edit Some Love allows people to edit negative comments on facebook, and turn them into positive ones. As more uplifting edits come forward, haters will feel less and less welcome to speak up. Let the victims of bullying know that more people want to see them smile than bring them down.

Break Glass
An ambient installation by Femina (a women's magazine in India) for the cause of women's safety. A lot of times, we become spectators when we see women being eve-teased, cat-called, and treated with disrespect, and we prefer to 'not interfere' in the matter. This campaign puts light on the importance of stepping up and helping someone in need, because all she may have to defend herself may not be enough.
