  • Access Now - 'A first look at Digital Security'

Linkː https://www.accessnow.org/your-spring-welcoming-gift-is-here-the-freshest-version-of-a-first-look-at-digital-security/

Languageː English

We created “A First Look at Digital Security” — an open-source booklet — to help you take the first steps toward improving your digital security online, and we continue to update it online at Github to make sure it remains accessible for anyone who needs it. The guide uses five user archetypes to introduce the concept of threat modeling, and there is a glossary to explain the most difficult terms and ideas. If you are a digital security trainer, you can use and further develop the user archetypes that we present as scenarios for your teaching activities, and we have now added space — a blank persona building page — that your students can use to create their own threat model, based concretely on their particular situation and needs.

  • Acoso.online - 'Guía práctica para tratar casos de pornografía no consentida en recintos educacionales bajo estándares de derechos humanos y equidad de género

Linkː https://acoso.online/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Guia-Practica-Establecimientos-Educacionales_AcosoOnline_2018.pdf

Licenseː  ?

Languageː Castellano

Esta guía es un recurso para que establecimientos educacionales establezcan parámetros base para lidiar con casos de difusión no consentida de imágenes y videos íntimos (también conocida como pornografía no consentida) en un marco de derechos humanos y equidad de género. Ha sido elaborado por Acoso.Online, un proyecto colaborativo e independiente que busca dar orientaciones concretas a las víctimas de pornografía no consentida en Latino América y el Caribe. La necesidad de entregar esta guía nace debido a dos razonamientos principales: por un lado, la abrumadora mayoría de casos que ocurren en contextos estudiantiles y, por otro, el silenciamiento y naturalización de este tipo de agresión. En esa combinación, esta guía pretende ser orientadora para todo institución educacional y comunidad relacionada y, en general, toda persona que quiera proponer estándares de acción para respetar los derechos humanos de las víctimas de esta agresión.

Languageː Castellano

Esta publicacion recopila diferentes reflexiones de defensoras de Mesoamérica sobre el miedo desde sus propias historias y experiencias.

A lo largo del diálogo surgieron muchas preguntas sobre qué es el miedo y sobre cómo lo afrontan las defensoras, especialmente cuando lo ubicamos en una sociedad patriarcal, en un contexto de violencia socio-política y cuando las sujetas que afrontan ese miedo son mujeres defensoras que, por su condición de género, además de esa violencia generalizada tienen que enfrentar las violencias cotidianas contra su ser femenino y feminista. En respuesta a ello, a través de este documento se intentó crear un tejido de ideas y testimonios sobre sus miedos, con el objetivo de verse reflejadas en ellos y así poder continuar construyendo caminos de resistencia y esperanza.

Languageː English, French, Spanish

Take Back The Tech is a global campaign that connects the issue of violence against women and information and communications technology (ICT). It aims to raise awareness on the way violence against women is occurring on ICT platforms such as the Internet and mobile phones, and to call for people to use ICT in activism to end violence against women. It was initiated by the Association for Progressive Communications, Women's Networking Support Programme, in 2006. Since then, the campaign has been taken up and organised by individuals, collectives and non-governmental organizations in at least 24 countries. The platform includes various manuals and howtos such asː

- The "know more section" which list specific information regarding types of Violence Against Women such as Black mail, cyberstalking and hate speech.

- In 2015 they have released with Just Associates (JASS) Southern Africa and Women's Net the following manualː ICTs for Feminist Movement Building: Activist Toolkit

How do we tell our own stories and make ourselves heard? How do we tell stories that empower and inspire, and challenge mainstream stories that tend to silence, erase women’s lives, experiences and voices? How do we communicate with each other and with people beyond our movements? What is the best way to develop messages that reach out to people and make our movements bigger? What tools make the most sense for our context and capacity? How can we communicate safely and securely in a world that has become increasingly risky for activists and women’s rights activists online and offline?

Durante casi tres meses, hemos analizado el activismo digital, con sus nuevas narrativas y performatividades, desde una perspectiva de género y con el objetivo de realizar una guía de seguridad digital feminista.

This guide can be useful irrespective of your gender, location or situation.

- How to build your own domestic violence case without a lawyer is based on their experience from working with survivors of domestic abuse and their realisation that women can often not have access to legal aid/help because they are either very depressed, it’s too difficult for them to think their way around the legal jargon, they cannot physically approach a lawyer and increasingly, there is no legal aid or counsel is too expensive. Irrespective of whether someone wants to take legal action (criminal, divorce, child custody or asylum) – collecting and presenting evidence is critical.

Quizás se piense que no hay nada para ocultar pero no podemos asegurar lo mismo por todxs los contactos con lxs que interactuamos por vía telefónica. Proteger la información de nuestro teléfono es también proteger a nuestrxs amigxs. Cuando hacemos una llamada telefónica o enviamos mensajes, se registran al menos la ubicación geográfica de quien llama y quien contesta, sus números de teléfono, la hora y duración de la comunicación y los números de serie de los dispositivos utilizados. De igual manera pueden ser capturados los datos de nuestras comunicaciones por medio de alguna aplicación del smartphone. En un mismo aparato se vinculan los datos del número telefónico, correo, contactos, actividad en redes sociales, SMS, fotografías, archivos, datos de GPS y a veces la sincronización con otros dispositivos.

Digital security can also be fun. By apropriation of the meme “send nudes!”, this small project has the goal to spread the word about digital security for the average user, who relies on digital media for their communication, but are not necessarily tuned with the specifics of digital security debate. Also discussing post-porn aesthetics and strategies for combating gender inequalities in the web, it was thought to be more appealing to women and sexual minorities, since they are more easily exposed to online haressment, by practices such as revenge “porn”, doxxing, cyberbulling, etc.

Languageː Brasilian, Spanish

Estos dispositivos son bonitos, gentiles, nos hacen compañía y nos hacen sentir atractivos y amparados. Nos apasionamos por ellos y depositamos en ellos toda nuestra confianza, desde los gestos más cotidianos hasta los secretos más íntimos. Ellos son nuestros objetos de deseo y sueños de consumo. Hasta el día en que nos damos cuenta de que controlan lo que hacemos, monitorean con quiénes nos encontramos y comparten nuestra intimidad con gente que no tiene nada que ver con eso. A partir de conceptos como "Big Data", "Smart Cities" e "Internet de las Cosas", creemos que la abundancia de datos, sumada a la alta capacidad de procesamiento de las computadoras con algoritmos inteligentes, facilitan y proporcionan más eficiencia a las ventas, la economía, el combate al crimen, la movilidad, la protección del medio ambiente, la garantía de la seguridad, de la salud y muchos de los problemas que enfrentamos globalmente. Pero ¿cómo funcionan estas tecnologías y al servicio de qué intereses trabajan? Vean por ejemplo la seccion sobre Cuerpos y su analisis de aplicaciones para control menstrual, aplicaciones deportivas, aplicaciones de salud, dildos, termómetros y colectores menstruales conectados a internet. Gracias a esos dispositivos hoy podemos convertir enfermedades, sexualidades, calorías y sangre menstrual en información, números y valor. El Chupadatos interpreta esas informaciones como mejor le parece. Con su mente oscura, te impone patrones normativos sobre tu peso, tu salud y tu vida sexual, e incluso comparte tu información íntima por ahí. Molesto, ¿no?

Esse site parou de ser atualizado em 2015. Algumas recomendações de ferramentas podem estar desatualizadas. Para os movimentos sociais, a comunicação rápida e segura entre membros de um coletivo, entre coletivos, ou entre ativistas independentes é fundamental tanto para o planejamento e a eficácia das ações, como também para o fortalecimento do próprio movimento de resistência. Na era analógica, espionar as comunicações de um indivíduo ou grupo e apreender documentos sensíveis, eram ações bastante comuns, apesar de serem dirigidas a alvos específicos e um tanto difíceis de serem camufladas. Com a internet, essa prática se tornou mais discreta, silenciosa e ainda mais comum, sendo utilizada em larga escala, para a espionagem em massa, e por motivos que ultrapassam os estritamente políticos.

Languageː Spanish

Dentro de ese entramado de redes sociales que se despliegan en nuestras vidas conectadas y fuera de Internet operan una multitud de posibilidades que se entrelazan fuertemente. Por todo ello, es cada vez más importante entender dónde y cómo nos movemos por los espacios conectados, para poder saber cómo operar e influenciar cambios positivos, así como para poder cuidar y cuidarnos entre nosotras para contrarrestar y sobrepasar estas violencias, agresiones y vulnerabilidades que pueden amplificar, complementar o, incluso, cambiar las que ya se experimentan en la vida física. Por todo ello esta publicación incluye, en una primera parte, la presentación de algunas de las características de las redes sociales en general y de las plataformas de redes sociales on-line. Lo abordamos de forma crítica y con perspectiva de género, así como relacionamos internet, las identidades, la privacidad y la seguridad con el género. Seguidamente nos adentramos en las violencias de género y, específicamente, las violencias de género on-line. Partimos de un análisis del panorama de datos cuantitativos y cualitativos existentes para, en la medida de lo posible, visibilizar qué está pasando si nos preguntamos sobre este tipo de violencias. Después, en una segunda parte, exponemos en detalle las violencias de género on-line, así como las posibilidades de hacerles frente. En este sentido, identificamos y definimos un conjunto de violencias de género que están ocurriendo en las redes sociales on-line y presentamos, a la vez, pistas, recomendaciones e iniciativas para profundizar en ellas y lograr autodefendernos, así como contrarrestarlas.

Esta publicación pues, está pensada para que pueda utilizarse también como guía y manual para entender mejor cuales son los componentes de género que atraviesan las redes sociales on-line. Sin embargo, y sobre todo, buscamos contribuir a que desde una posición más informada, crítica y feminista se puedan detectar y conocer las violencias de género on-line y,en la medida de lo posible y en un futuro próximo, se puedan sobrepasar. Por ello, esta publicación puede resultar muy útil a las mujeres, especialmente a las mujeres vocales, feministas y disidentes sexuales y de género, que de forma creciente se ven afectadas por las violencias de género on-line. Además, por el idioma utilizado, las autorías, voces y miradas, así como la mayoría de datos y referencias utilizadas, esta guía resulta especialmente interesante para las mujeres latinas e iberoamericanas.

The Center for Solutions to Online Violence is both a digital resource space, hosted in perpetuity by FemTechNet, and a community of people working to address the ever-evolving risks faced by women and feminists online. Going forward, the project will be co-facilitated by T.L. Cowan and Moya Bailey, who have been essential to the work this year. They, in turn, are supported by a committee of volunteers and the broader FemTechNet network. In the coming year, CSOV will continue to connect survivors of online violence to resources and communities who can help. It will also continue the hard work of making visible the violences that women of color, queer and trans-creators, and other marginalized communities experience – too often at the hands of those who purport to want to help. Trust is partially about understanding the risks that others face and demonstrating that you are willing to address those risks before doing any additional work. This is the foundation of the Center for Solutions to Online Violence

Languageː English

Why Cybersecurity? Domestic violence isn't always physical. Many intimate partners exert control using the technologies we rely on everyday. Being intimidated by constant phone-calls, stalked by location-sharing apps, humiliated on social media, forced to share sensitive texts and passwords: each of these experiences is a violation of privacy that affects your freedom to make decisions about your life. Being deprived of your autonomy is no less painful when it's digital. DIY Cybersecurity asserts your privacy online. When you're threatened by your partner, you can always reach out to a domestic violence professional. But whenever you need to protect yourself online, you're not alone. Our Threat Scenarios explore, in-depth, how to resist a controlling partner. Each guide is accessible and empathetic: you're not obliged to follow any of our suggestions if you don't feel they're right for you. We also have Defense Strategies for proactively securing your digital life. There's a quick exit button in the sidebar in case you need to suddenly leave the site. If you want to make sure there's no history of your visit, please read our guide on Private Web Browsing.

Hacking With Care is collective composed of hackers-activists, caregivers, artists, sociologist, growing quite literally by contact and affinity. Together we imagine, circulate, put in common resources and tools for care in accordance with hackers ethics and peer-to-peer philosophy. We create occasions for body & soul rejuvenation and collective (re)appropriation of care. We work with an understanding of the needs and requirements of specific contexts, as can be found in hacking and activism. Similarly, we like to transmit to caregivers some hackers-activists tools and best practices, for example in relation to privacy/data protection, technological independence, operational security. Other aspects we like are creativity in care, access to knowledge, interdisciplinarity, questioning of norms…

Our actions evolve around two principal axis that could be (but not limited to): Care for hackers-activists and Hackers ethics and tools for caregivers. They include care corners at hackers-activists events, pop-up massage sessions at the quarters of activists organizations, massage and well-being workshops and tutorials, compilation of resources and creation of original resources, research, news watch….

The Gendering surveillance project aims at showing how the digital age may have further deepened the scrutiny to which women are subjected, women have always been under stringent surveillance - by actors ranging from partners and parents to the state. And this has shaped, and harmed, women’s lives in multiple ways. What can be learned about surveillance from gendering it, then? And what do these insights imply for the fight for stronger human rights protections in the face of surveillance more broadly? See for instance their review and analysis of safety apps, phone bans, or the use of CCTV in garment factories.

Abusers and perpetrators will often misuse technology to further abuse and control victims. Misuse of technology could include monitoring technology use, including computers or cell phones, sending multiple unwanted or threatening text messages or voicemail messages, or posting negative comments or images of the survivor online. In some cases, how technology is misused to harass and control may seem unbelievable. However, it is important to trust your instincts. If you believe that you are being monitored or stalked via technology, you might be. Narrowing down what is happening, including the tactic and the technology used, can help to determine if stalking is occurring and if so, how to address is.

  • Pen America - ONLINE HARASSMENT FIELD MANUAL'

Languageː English

For years, online harassment was dismissed in some quarters as less real, or less harmful, than harassment in the “real world.” More recently, after sustained efforts and pressure from those who bear the brunt of this harassment—women, people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals and people identifying with other marginalized or threatened groups—social media companies and the broader public have begun to take this issue seriously. There is now a growing recognition that online harassment can affect its targets’ freedom to express themselves, their livelihoods, and their mental and physical health. It is also clear that online harassment can extend to the offline world, especially for those who receive direct, specific threats of sexual violence, bodily harm, and even death, and who have their personal information published without their consent (known as “doxing”).

As an organization of writers, PEN America is particularly concerned about the ways in which online harassment affects writers’ work. Our 2017 Online Harassment Survey of over 230 journalists and writers found that 67 percent of respondents had experienced a severe reaction to being targeted by online harassment, including refraining from publishing their work, permanently deleting their social media accounts, and/or fearing for their safety or the safety of their loved ones. More than one-third of respondents reported avoiding certain topics in their writing due to online harassment, 16 percent reported permanently deleting a social media account, and 37 percent felt that online harassment had damaged their reputations. These survey findings align with years of reports from writers, journalists, and activists that experiencing harassment and hateful speech online can drive people offline entirely or lead them to avoid speaking or writing about topics that they fear will lead to further harassment.

However on developing the manual and in conversations with various defenders working on a wide range of rights it became evident that some form of definition was needed in order to increase a general understanding of the issues at stake and improve the security enjoyed by defenders working on sexual orientation and sex/gender identity and gender expression issues and the rights to equality and non-discrimination of the LGBTI community.

Languageː English and Spanish

Tactical Technology Collective (in the framework of its one year project “Securing Online and Offline Freedoms for Women: Expression, Privacy and Digital Inclusion”) has released in September 2015 a manual tackling some privacy and security issues from a gender perspective. It is the result of a collaborative effort that has involved our growing community of women and trans* activists, human rights defenders and technologists. The manual was created in response to our community’s requests for ideas and guidance on topics they needed, but couldn’t find elsewhere and has been written and reviewed by over 20 women coming from 19 different countries. The current content focuses on two overlapping issues: First, how can we craft appropriate online presences (or a series of them) that strengthen our ability to communicate and work online safely?; Secondly, how can we collaboratively create safe online and offline spaces that enable our communities to share, collaborate, and communicate safely?

The manual grew out of the 2014 Gender and Technology Institute, organised by Tactical Technology Collective and the Association for Progressive Communications (APC). Until next January 2016, we hope to achieve a better understanding of the readers audience, their background and needs and also to gather through this extended community more feed back about the manual in order to get a better grasp of the dimensions that are missing and which are the other tools, processes, readings and cases studies that should be added. We hope to have it translated, edited and printed in 2016.

These resources are part of WMC’s Something Can Be Done! guide, and have been developed by the country’s top digital abuse lawyers. However, lawyers do not make decisions in a vacuum.

However, many people, and institutions, think of harassment as “bullying,” instead of its much more complex and dynamic reality. While online abuse can and does happen to anyone, the focus of this project is on the ways in which women’s rights and expression are affected by intersectional harassment related to their gender, class, race, sexuality and more.

Being subjected to threats, unwanted contact, compromised accounts, hacked websites, or having sensitive information shared online is an awful experience. In the midst of this, it can be confusing to know how to react and which steps to take to protect yourself. You’re likely to get conflicting advice on whether to take incidents seriously or ignore them, and trying to get up to speed on online security strategies with limited technical knowledge can make an already stressful situation more overwhelming. It’s not always obvious who’s responsible for ongoing harassment or how many people are involved, and trying to address a threat with limited information can be difficult. Please remember that you are not alone. If you were, this guide wouldn't be here. You will get through this.

Before producing a manual

Before producing a new manual some questions we should askː

  • Don't reinvent the wheelǃ Are you duplicating upstream work?
  • If a similar manual is already available Who's behind it? Is it a long-term project or a one shot one? Can you continue or complement their work?
  • Who's the public and what are the objectives ? What are their security & technical levels? What are their comprehension about feminism?
  • Who will produce/develop it and for whom (generational gap, geographical location, socio-demographic dimension)?
  • Will your manual will be more about tools and how to configure those, or will it be more about threat modelling and/or behavioural processes?
  • Under which license will you distribute it and which rights will you grant third parties (access, use, copy, remix, etc)?
  • Credits your reviewers and experts that have provided you with feed back!!
  • How will you maintain it? This encompass questions about frequency of updates needs depending of the tools and processes you will detail, and about processes you will run to engage your community in updating contents with you.
  • How will you get feedback and peer review from readers? Will you be able to include all the feed back? (Some criteria will deal with correctness, completeness, up to date). Remember to always indicate the last date the manual has been updated/released.
  • How will you achieve or not translation & translatability of your manual? Which type of platforms will you use for achieving the translation? Will you achieve also cultural translation for instance?
  • Accessible for disable people
  • Will you provide further support to the readers such as a contact mail or a hotline?
  • How will you ensure that your contents are ethical, inclusive and trans-queer-feminist "approved"?
  • How will we monitor the impact of our self learning resources/Impact Assessment methodologies?
  • How the distribution will be done? What is the target public?
  • Think about potential partnerships (researchers, academia, volunteer translators etc)
