  Issues of tech related violence is rampant among students of higher learning institutions. Unfortunately, there are no policies within the institutions that can deal with tech related violence. Egerton University has a gender department that can strategically guide the conversations on tech related violence and possibly provide the required fora that would hopefully lead to the development of policies within the university that will curb tech related violence that occurs in the university. The training was also conducted at the University due to the request of the Head of the Gender department , who had attended a round table on safety online for key stakeholders in Nakuru and had seen the value of having a training intervention with the students who were most affected by tech related violence.

• Jornadas de autocuidado feminista. Cuidado físico, emocional y digital, Colombia  + (Las Jornadas de autocuidado feminista surg …
  Las Jornadas de autocuidado feminista surgieron en el marco de la convergencia de los colectivos Crisálidas, CENSAT Agua Viva y Otra Escuela. Estas organizaciones desde diferentes campos de trabajo, impulsamos iniciativas feministas para la construcción de paz en el departamento del Cauca. El contexto en el que se llevó a cabo, fue justamente 8 días antes de la movilización del 25 de noviembre, día internacional de la No violencia hacia las mujeres. En el Cauca, las mujeres negras, campesinas, indígenas, LBTI y urbanas nos movilizamos por la vía Panamericana. Algunos elementos de contexto que hacían necesaria esta marcha, es que a pesar de la firma del “Acuerdo Final para la Terminación del Conflicto y la Construcción de una Paz Estable y Duradera” el avance sobre la implementación del mismo ha sido lento y los problemas centrales que produjeron la guerra aún no se desactivan. Del mismo modo, aunque las mujeres hemos resaltado la necesidad de avanzar en la Mesa de Diálogos entre el gobierno y el ELN y hemos llevado propuestas a la misma, notamos poca voluntad política para que esta mesa avance. Con relación a la implementación del Acuerdo de paz, según el informe de seguimiento de GPAZ (2018), del conjunto de las medidas de género, el 72,48 % han obtenido un desarrollo normativo en contraste con el desarrollo operativo que apenas es de un 17,43 %. El avance es muy lento y como lo hemos sugerido varias mujeres en diversos espacios de análisis y discusión sobre el proceso de paz, lo que sentimos es que “a pesar que haya paz firmada, en realidad no hay paz”. Con preocupación registramos un aumento de la militarización de nuestros territorios, de la criminalización de la protesta, así como de los asesinatos y amenazas a líderes, lideresas y defensoras de derechos humanos. En 2016, fueron asesinadas 295 personas defensoras de derechos humanos en Colombia, el Cauca ocupó el primer lugar con 56 casos. Al igual el aumento de feminicidios y casos de violencias hacia las mujeres y la población LGBTI nos preocupa inmensamente y nos deja claro que a pesar de la firma de la paz las violencias continúan. Paralelo a esta situación observamos cómo se inicia a dar trámite a proyectos de Ley que, de aprobarse, irían en retroceso de nuestros derechos y los de nuestros pueblos. Es el caso del proyecto de Ley 134 que regula el derecho fundamental a la Consulta Previa y ha sido presentado al Senado por la bancada de Cambio Radical. En nuestra opinión, el proyecto es lesivo para los avances y el reconocimiento del derecho al consentimiento previo, libre e informado. Igualmente, el proyecto del Ministerio de la Familia también presentado por Cambio Radical, reestructura la política social de un modo nefasto sin considerar los contextos sociales, culturales y territoriales de las familias y diversos grupos poblacionales como mujeres, jóvenes, niños, niñas, adultos y adultas mayores. Además, se circunscribe a una visión de la familia que niega la diversidad de la misma en la realidad colombiana. De otro lado persisten las violencias históricas en nuestros cuerpos, en nuestros territorios y en nuestros pueblos, como mujeres indígenas, negras, campesinas y urbanas sentamos un precedente sobre estas históricas violencias que nos continúan agrediendo. En medio de este contexto, nuestra movilización: “Las mujeres unidas sembramos el camino de la paz”, tiene las siguientes exigencias: Por el derecho a la movilización y la protesta social y por la vida de líderesas y líderes Porque nuestros derechos y los de nuestros pueblos NO retrocedan: No a la modificación de la Consulta Previa y la restricción de las Consultas Populares para decidir sobre nuestras vidas Exigimos que nuestros Territorios sean Libres de Violencias contra las mujeres negras, indígenas, campesinas, LBTI y urbanas. Ni un feminicidio más. Rechazamos la negligencia institucional frente a los casos de atención de violencias hacia las Por el derecho a familias Porque las Mujeres Defendemos la Paz: que avance la implementación del Acuerdo Final y que continúe la Mesa de Negociación entre el Gobierno y el Más recursos para la educación pública y menos recursos para la guerra De igual manera, realizamos una ficha de seguridad en la que resaltaban los siguientes elementos de contexto, consultados con varias organizaciones que trabajan en el territorio: 1. Durante el último semestre el departamento del Cauca vive un pico de violencia. Las cifras de la Defensoría del Pueblo hablan de 78 líderes sociales asesinados entre el 2016 y 2018, poniéndolo como el departamento con más casos de violencia socio política del país. En los últimos meses tuvimos conocimiento de al menos seis amenazas masivas hacia el movimiento indígena, el movimiento político de la Colombia Humana y las comunidades rurales. Ha ocurrido una masacre de 7 personas más que estremecieron el país en Argelia. En Santander de Quilichao, Buenos Aires y Suárez se han reportado al menos tres asesinatos de profesores. Al parecer por robo de motos. De otro lado, en varias de las veredas de Suárez se han presentado las disidencias y rearmes de FARC socializando nuevas medidas de control social, y formalizando su presencia. Se tiene conocimiento de acciones de inteligencia contras líderes y liderezas que impulsan el proceso de paz con el ELN. Varios contingentes del Ejército y ESMAD han llegado al casco urbano de Santander de Quilichao en desarrollo de las protestas estudiantiles y el Plan HORUS. Se recomienda verificar las condiciones de seguridad de cada una de las participantes y monitorear sus traslados hacia la ciudad de Popayán, contar con red de abogados penalistas y transportadores rápidos hacia centros de atención médica. 2. Los informes del Observatorio de feminicidios de la Red Antimilitarista muestran un aumento de feminicidios en la región del suroccidente del país. Esto ocurre particularmente en el departamento del Valle, pero también el Cauca ha sido uno de los escenarios en donde el tipo de violencia letal contra las mujeres se ha expandido. En los casos que documento la Red Feminista antimilitarista, y otros que nosotras documentamos y presentamos en la Fiscalía y la Alcaldía, lo que se evidenció es que los agresores están relacionados en circuitos de economías ilegales. Esto dificulta que las mujeres denuncien, que los casos sean acompañados y que se realice un debido seguimiento en el norte del Cauca y el sur Del Valle. La vinculación de los agresores a estos circuitos es un elemento importante a la hora de pensarse la autodefensa feminista porque el poder, la violencia y la corrupción que pueden desplegar es mucho mayor. Estos actores no son objeto de negociación política, ni de increpación moral. Es lo que hace el narco-estilo de vida que cada vez se propaga más por el Norte del Cauca. La economía ilegal (minería y cultivos de uso ilícito) en sí misma es un factor de exposición a la violencia contra las mujeres y dificulta generar estrategias desde ellas. La economía realiza divisiones sexuales del trabajo, legitima valores, estereotipos y violencias que hacen muy difícil la resistencia y denuncia. Otro elemento es que no tenemos redes seguras de comunicación, al contrario, comunicaciones muy vulnerables para las víctimas y las defensoras. A esto se le suma el control militar excesivo donde no solamente hay policía, sino policía militar asociada al Plan Horus, el combate de las disidencias y la erradicación forzada. 3. Justamente el avance del Plan Horus, el combate de las disidencias y la erradicación forzada, ha marcado la tensión en seguridad y protección durante las últimas semanas dado que ha generado la movilización de tropas por los cascos urbanos, la carretera y las veredas. En particular, en los municipios de Corinto, Miranda, Caloto, Toribío y Jambaló. Así mismo la presencia de agentes del ESMAD en el casco urbano de Santander de Quilichao y en las carreteras por el paro estudiantil. A la militarización se le suma la situación de cortes de luz en las veredas, que es rutinaria, pero que se ha profundizado por la voladura de las torres y estaciones eléctricas. Aparentemente esta voladura ha sido realizada por las disidencias, pero ha sido sugerida por el Fiscal General de la Nación en varias ocasiones. Cualquiera sea su origen, tiene como consecuencias el aumento del precio de la marihuana, la tensión sobre su comercialización y la restricción del uso de los espacios por parte delas mujeres ya que la ausencia de luz impide nuestro tránsito por miedo a ser violadas o atracadas. En la población joven es muy común el control de las parejas por medio de los dispositivos celulares, uso de claves, interceptaciones de las comunicaciones, y ubicaciones arbitrarias. El rompimiento de estas relaciones ha traído a la postre, el aumento del suicidio en las jóvenes Nasa y los homicidios por parte de sus compañeros (también pasa entre los afros)

As they seek to share vital information about themselves so as to increase their networking skills, these women post information and pictures on various sites that are both of a personal and professional nature. Unfortunately, this same medium of expression (the internet) exposes the information these women share to public scrutiny and may have negative effect, when this information falls in the hands (or eyes) of a person who can misuse this information through manipulation, or lead to harassment among other internet crimes.

  One in every four women will experience domestic violence at the hands of a partner in their lifetime. Women aged 15–44, across all cultures, are more at risk of rape and other acts of violence, than cancer, malaria, motor accidents, or acts of war, according to the World Bank. The root cause of violence against women (VAW) is gender inequality, leading to unequal power relationships. The Womanity Foundation’s Award for the Prevention of Violence Against Women was developed in 2013 and supports collaboration between organisations seeking to prevent gender-based violence, and aims to break down barriers that such organisations face. The Award helps an Innovation Partner that has developed an already successful approach to prevent VAW to increase their reach; whilst their designated Scale-Up Partner is receiving support to adapt and deliver that project in their own location. The partnership lasts for three years. In May 2016, the Womanity Award will be given to two partners who harness ICT to prevent violence against women. These technologies might include phone apps, video games, urban mapping, internet security training, internet TV, feminist servers, and e-learning platforms, among others. Simultaneously, The Womanity Foundation is launching the ICT for Womanity collaborative network, a peer-to-peer group that connects existing “Tech for Gender” projects, that use these technologies to tackle VAW. This network will foster partnership and learning opportunities. Through this virtual session, we hope to introduce some of the innovations in the field, encourage practitioners to join the movement. Together we are activating a collaborative group that will act a safe space to exchange information and knowledge. Our hope is for this network to collect, analyse and share data to assess the effectiveness of ICT solutions that address women’s safety.

• Coming Back to Tech, IFF, Spain  + (Online harassment and threats against wome …
  Online harassment and threats against women activists, rights defenders and journalists has become a prevelant issue in recent years. For many of these groups and individuals, using the internet and social media for work must all too frequently be balanced against harassment, threats and surviellance by both state and non-state actors. There are a growing number of resources to prevent different kinds of online harassment faced by women working as activists, human rights defenders or journalists. But what happens during or ‘the day after’ an attack? And then what happens after the more urgent crisis phase(s) of a campaign of harassment passes? There is little documententation and few resources that tackle these issues. As a result, we are proposing to facilitate a workshop that brings in the input of the community of activists, journalists and digital security trainers to help develop guides on tackling harassment such as account hijacking, doxing or revenge porn. The work conducted during workshop will help develop guides and manuals that can be used by activists, women rights defenders, journalists and Rapid Responders to deal with harassment and threats as they happen.

• Gender and Technology Institute, Berlin  + (Online threats and gender based violence t …
  Online threats and gender based violence trap too many women into a contradictory situation in which on one hand the use of the internet is crucial for their work and/or activism, in order to coordinate actions, enable a wider reach out, display new identities, and on the other hand they are also increasingly exposed to surveillance, harassment and punitive actions. All these factors have led to a situation in which the internet is not a safe space and in which it is common to see women's work and voices being deleted, (self)-censored, and actively prevented from being seen, heard or read. Answers to our call for applications echoed this situation and while many applicants reflected on the stereotypes and prejudices they had face when engaging with tech, there was also a general acknowledgement of a lack of security (either digital, physical or well-being) of women when accessing, using and developing technologies. Besides, the use of tech to undermine privacy and create new forms of surveillance and control over women bodies and opinions was also remarked. Among women targeted, the WHRD and LGTBQI activists working on gender social justice issues or sensitive topics, such as health, reproductive and sexual rights were felt as particularly at risk. Moreover, vocal women, such as bloggers and journalists engaged in politics or feminist issues were also cruelly under attack. The aims of the institute were to train participants in order to learn tools and techniques for increasing their understanding and practice in digital security and privacy and in order to become digital security trainers and privacy advocates within their own organisations and communities. The Institute was also intended to better understand what could be new approaches to privacy and digital security including a gender and cultural diversity approach. Contents addressed encompassed theoretical elements dealing with gender and technology, privacy and surveillance, training skills and practical tips and methodologies to become an outstanding privacy advocate or digital security trainer. Other dimensions, such as holistic security, self care, risk analysis, tackling online violence, develop feminist principles of the internet were also discussed along the encounter.

  Over the past two years, there has been an increasing production of guides and other self learning resources oriented at better understanding what is violence against women (online and offline) and how to document and share about the initiatives, processes and tools that are challenging it under its different forms. The workshop will address this panorama of resources departing from the participants experiences and their needs in relation to those materials. When mapping what is there and what is missing, they will draft guidelines for shared good practices when producing new materials (such as how to not reinvent the wheel and duplicating upstream work, thinking ahead the maintainability, translatability, feedback, peer review and overall sustainability of those resources) and will reflect on how to develop materials that are ethical, inclusive and accessible. This workshop should enable people engaged with the production of self learning resources around privacy and digital security to better understand how to include a gender and intersectional perspective, inasmuch as it should enable networking among people planning to produce gender-related materials in the field of privacy and digital security.

  Pakistan is ranked as the third most dangerous country in the world for women. Women make half of this country's population but their inclusion and participation in larger socio-economic development processes is hardly visible and still need a huge effort to bring at par with any international standards or best practices. Mostly women in Pakistan are deprived of their basic human rights. The weak implementation of legislation and cultural biases has made them more vulnerable. In addition, women have been traditionally targeted through socio- economic oppression, cultural and religious biases, sexual harassment, lack of opportunities and domestic violence. They have been deprived of education that most importantly results in the lack of opportunities for their social and economic well being. '''The Issue -- Cyber Harassment and Access to ICTs:''' The Internet is an essential tool that provides a way for women to get access to the wider world — the world of networks, communities, health and education information, financial advice and business skills training. It’s a platform for women to seek help where they need it, so helping to redress the gender imbalance and foster the empowerment of women. Pakistani Women can also play an important part in the economic sphere of the country if important steps would have been taken to prevent different forms of harassment which are pervasive in the society. Pakistan is a country which has benefited from the advances in technology. There have been a lot of technological breakthroughs in the past few years which have made it easier for people to get connected. The Internet has been a treasure trove of knowledge and made our lives easier. Unfortunately all good things come with a price. The price is cyber stalking, harassment, blackmailing which is slowly becoming the norm within the country. In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a second underdeveloped province of Pakistan where honor killing of women is common, four women were killed due to a mobile video which went viral in a village in the area of Kohistan http://tribune.com.pk/story/671386/justice-delayed-in-kohistan/ Even in cities educated families who give access to ICTs to their young girls, restrict the access if they find out that the harassment is happening. Due to the fear of losing access to ICTs, women do not often speak about cyber harassment to their families. Awareness about using secure and safe Internet and ICTs is not common in Pakistan especially among young women and girls.

Población que se caracteriza por sus años en cárcel sin acceso a comunicaciones en la cárcel (sólo cartas y llamadas por el teléfono fijo colectivo) y anteriormente por su vida en la insurgencia, por su poco uso y conocimiento de las redes sociales. Ahora empiezan a tener uso de celulares y en la salida a la vida en libertad, aun más. Decidí realizar este taller como parte de su preparación a lo que hemos llamado "la calle hoy" y para brindarles herramientas prácticas para una comunicación segura.

  Since 2014, Tactical Technology Collective has engaged directly with Women Human Rights Defenders, women net activists and their allies in order to face a global trend of using ICT for controlling and shutting down women voices and opinions through online harassment and gender-based violence launched by governments and non state actors. The project was designed in the long term to increase our target groups' resilience and their capacity to develop their own mitigation strategies by shifting expertise to the community itself. In a multi-faceted approach the project has directly strengthened their capacities to firstly improve their own response to restrictions to freedom of expression and freedom of opinion and secondly enable them to improve the capacity within their own communities. Our research and experience shows that only project activities that are embedded in and owned by the communities take hold and stand a chance of succeeding in the long run. This project is a practical response to demand on the ground and is based upon Tactical Tech's theory of change and its 'do not harm' approach which puts the safety and wellbeing of target groups and the specific communities they represent at the centre of all activities.

  Since the leaks of nudes and the numerous cases of revenge porn start to become everyday news, we've witnessed all kinds of narratives about it. The vast majority of them are paternalistic, patronizing pieces that ultimately state that sending nudes is irresponsible and unsafe. In this guide, we will try to confront this narrative and introduce the "Send Nudes!" project, a guide to digital security for sharing intimate images that does not base itself on slutshaming, but on a pro-sex attitude. This project aimed to call the attention to how
learning to send nudes through the internet in a safer way can be a practice of self-determination for us as sexual bodies and internet users. More than protection, we need to spread knowledge about daily practices and actions that can work towards shifting perspectives about gender roles and digital rights.

• Workshop, Other than women: Exploring harassment and difference online, Rightscon, Belgium  + (Tactical Tech is interested in the problem …
  Tactical Tech is interested in the problem of online harassment as a barrier to political participation in quantified societies, and in terms of the harm it causes those targeted. We have been working to customise tactics of resistance and support to communities/individuals who are working online and are exposed to, or are at risk of, harassment. This Satellite Session at Rightscon is fashioned as an intervention into ongoing advocacy, research, and practical support efforts, and seeks to interrogate a wide range of possible framings of (as well as responses to) online harassment. A growing body of evidence shows that in addition to gendered and sexualised harassment, Islamophobic, racist, trans- and homophobic harassment equally take place online. We observe, however, that the sexist, misogynist and anti-feminist harassment ciswomen (of relative privilege and visibility in their social contexts) face is noticeably more visible in public discourse, media, research, and advocacy than any other form of online harassment. We are interested in how our work as researchers and advocates may become more intersectional, may focus more fully on gender rather than conflating gender with women, and forge connections with and/or support marginalised groups working in specific contexts. We will take critical approaches to Islamophobia, ethnicity, and race as they intersect with gender and sexuality to help understand localised experiences of harassment.

  Tactical Tech is launching a new research project that focused on what happens to women after they have been harassed online, how their relationship with technology changes, and what it means to "go offline", particularly for activists whom rely on social media and the internet to conduct their work. As part of the AWID Forum in Brazil, Tactical Tech conducted the session entitled "Coming Back to Tech" aimed at presenting the new research concept and at receiving feedback from participants. Participants were divided into breakout groups, with each group using case studies the Tactical Tech team provided to discuss different elements related to coming back to tech. One key observation from the feedback showed that there was a tendency by the participants to focus on how to respond to online harassment as it occurs, instead of how to continue to be effective online after facing harassment.

  The Gender and Technology Institute and the Privacy camp for Year 2 took place in Panama in September 2017. The event was entitled “Gender and Technology Institute: Take Control Over Your Data”. It was organised in collaboration with a global organisation called Women Help Women that provide support to activists around the world about safe abortion and with a local human rights organisation. The meeting brought together 35 participants from 13 different countries around Central and South American Countries (Mexico, Panama, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Republica Dominicana, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Chile). The group was composed by women activists that work on organisations or informal collectives that provide information, counsel and/or accompaniment to women seeking safe abortions, with the hope that they would gain new knowledge and skills for improving their mitigation strategies and for updating their security protocol and that they would advice, train or influence their networks and collectives once back home. This meeting took place over five days and the main goals were to have knowledge exchange to know how data is impacting the work carried out in the field; share strategies on how to mitigate the risk associated with data; identify unique needs of the different regions, people and groups they work with; and see if and how we can compliment each others’ work moving forward. Specific curricula and facilitation methodologies was developed for the event and feed back about their suitableness for pro-choice activists around LAC was collected through the event. The open call for applications was open for two weeks and half and received 170 applications among which almost 40% came from pro-choice activists thanks to a strong diffusion by our partner WHW. Participants mainly came from Central American and Caribbean countries encompassing Mexico (7), Panama (5), Nicaragua (7), Honduras (4), El Salvador (2), Republica Dominicana (2) Guatemala (1), Costa Rica (1). Among those we find four countries which forbid abortion under any circumstance. There were also some participants from South American countries, namely from Peru (1), Colombia (1), Venezuela (1), Ecuador (1) and Chile (1) where the legal and social criminalisation of abortion is also among the harshest of all LAC. All together they brought various experiences regarding their activism, uses and practices with technologies, the risks and attacks they were facing inasmuch as their security strategies, resilience and agency. It should also be noted that one of the aims behind the selection of participants was to provide priority to centro american countries. Our research on risks and attacks faced by pro-choice activists in LAC detected that activists from those countries were facing higher level of dangers, and this finding was echoed by some of the experts invited at the 5 days preparatory meeting that took place in March 2017. They confirmed that activists from Central American countries, in comparison to activists located in south America, had in general fewer opportunities to attend training oriented towards privacy and digital security and had also in general fewer possibilities to meet and share among them.

  The IGF happened from 16-18 May and there was a School of Internet Governance running parallel to it. The main conference on the final day addressed themes such as cyber security, SDGs and the Internet, and digital rights and multistakeholderism. Interestingly, there was mention of a Women IGF on the first day as well. There was very little information available but a few of us including the Women and Media Collective decided to mobilize around the Women IGF and the main conference. We shared the IGF information with other activists and women’s rights org’s (WROs) in Sri Lanka and while some were interested and turned up, one of the main things I realized was that we need a primer of sorts on why an IGF is a relevant space for WROs. I found APC’s issue paper to be extremely useful in this respect. Our main objective was to be identified as interested stakeholders at the IGF and to highlight why women are key and relevant stakeholders in internet governance. Our strategy was to be present at the Women IGF as well as relevant sessions of the main IGF and engage with the discussions, both as participants and panelists. We also asked for and received advice and tips about engaging with an IGF from Jac and Valentina from APC which was great and much appreciated.

• F3mhack - Hacktona Feminista, Sao Paulo, Brasil  + (The cases of online harassment over women …
  The cases of online harassment over women are increasing in Brazil and this has concern feminists that are using the internet to communicate, mobilize and articulate in their activities. There was a recent case of a feminist journalist that got all her online personal information stoled and was being persecuted by harassers because she posted an article about how women were excluded from geek environments. She got her information stole from one employee of an Brazilian data broker. Other cases that corned these women were about abortion posts at Facebook that exposes some girls. In Brazil abortion is illegal and the current Senate is very conservative about it. At the same time that these feminists realize that they need to know more about Digital Security, their engagement to use and learn new tools is still very small. Many don't get involved because they think that these knowledges are to advanced or they can't understand how its affects them. Discussing with a small group we realize that this happens because we still don't have a proper feminist communication for DS. That is why we really thought it was essential to have the first meeting to introduce basic stuff about online privacy and start an oriented communication. The F3Mhack was great for that and we decided to do an event with these goals.
