  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.

• Gender and Technology Institute, Panama  + (The Gender and Technology Institute and th …
  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.

  This campaign was inspired by debates and exchanges regarding gender based online violence and trolling that took place during the GTI and were informed by participants experiences. This initiative was designed by a facilitator of the institute in partnership with the Peng collective which is a Berlin based communication group. The initiative was widely supported and relayed by many participants to the GTI. As explained in their website in a humoristic manner: “Hate has always been a part of the Internet and the intentional harassment of other people (termed trolling) has too. But the gendered forms of harassment and violence on Twitter today point to a deeper problem in society that cannot be solved by technical solutions alone. Trolls need serious, practical help to overcome their sexism, deal with their anger issues and change their behavior”.

• Gender and Technology Institute, Uruguay  + (This one was the fifth “Gender and Technol …
  This one was the fifth “Gender and Technology Institute” and it was organized in collaboration with FRIDA and Mama Cash. They attended the preparatory gathering on February 2018 in Mexico DF and brought logistic support doing outreach and giving support in the selection of participants, as well as covering the costs of 10 of the 49 participants selected. They also brought a small fun to economically support follow up actions and trainings by the participants and facilitators to the GTI, between July and December 2018. On the other hand, Amnesty International economically supported two participants and one person from Fondo de Acción Urgente LAC covered her costs to attend this GTI. This GTI was held during five days and had several objectives: Bring new skills and knowledge to its participants for them to be able to improve their strategies of mitigation as well as update their security protocols; Be able to train their own networks, organizations and communities about the topics learned once they are back home; Improve the synergy and collaboration between the different collectives and organizations attending the gathering. During two previous events specific curricula and methodologies were created for this specific GTI: A preparatory gathering in February 2018 with 20 participants that represented several organizations related to land rights defenders and/or with digital and holistic security with gender perspective. A gathering for the development of curricula content in April 2018 with 20 participants with the focus in developing of workshops and activities based on past GTIs. We are going to publish this repository of curricula in Spanish and english. The GTI brought 70 people including 50 participants and a team of 20 facilitators and organizers (3 from Tactical Tech, 1 representative from Mama Cash, 1 representative from the local organization Cotidiano Mujer, 1 person supporting logistics, 1 translator, 12 external facilitators). Among the participants were 40 women right land defenders and allies and 10 participants who were involved in feminist activism. The countries represented were Uruguay, Chile, Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Bolivia, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, Ecuador, El Salvador and Venezuela. However, it should be noted that for many participants this identification does not make sense. For those who represent their territory and community claiming an identity dissociated from the borders imposed by the nation states. The states maintain direct conflicts with women land rights defenders, criminalizing and actively pursuing them. About the roles of the participants in their own communities and organizations, we had the following profiles: - In charge of the management of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for their organization or collective (responsible for communication, campaigns, data collection and collective memory, others). - Activist who collectively manages ICTs (feminist activism, intense use of social networks, etc.) - Project and/or funding coordinator (director, programs, spokesperson, etc) - Profiles with sophisticated use or development of technologies (free software/hardware, geodata, system administrators) - Legal Defenders/Lawyers And about the audience that their communities, organizations and collectives work with we found the following distribution represented by a word cloud. Among the women that are object of gender based violence and hate speech online and offline, the women land rights defenders, indigenous communities leaders, environmental activists are specially under risk. During the preparatory event we spent some time to put on the same page several studies, analysis and reports related to the risks that they have. Other example of this is the big response we got to the convocation to the GTI. Although it was only open during 3 weeks and we didn’t distribute the call for applications further from the networks and organizations that were mapped during the preparatory event, we received more than 220 applications and most of the ones coming from land rights defenders showed people under hight risk. When analyzing the applications, we gave priority to the participantes that were exposed to the higher levels of risk as explained here: Attacks, hate speech through social networks (RRSS) Dealing with sensitive data, Manejo de datos sensibles, intervention risks Identity and account theft Computer theft Tracking of communication and cellphones Campaigns of discredit and fake news and defaming Attacks to their web pages Monitoring and surveillance Lack of security protocols in the organization Blackmail and criminalization Legal pitfalls Police visits to house, work place, etc Raids of offices and personal houses Threats to close family members Non-consensual dissemination of intimate content (“Revenge porn”) Sexual violence Discrimination Harassment Disappearances Murders Related to their motivations to attend the GTI, we can see that the participants want to improve their skills and get methodologies and tools to defend the rights of the communities they work in. On one side they want to be able to improve their visibility and advocacy, know how to manage and care about the data they generate, as well as to reduce the risks of attacks and violence. On other side, they want to acquire concepts and tools to be able to improve their levels of security and skills when creating mitigation strategies. Those motivations get combined with their goals of being able to share this knowledge with their own organizations, communities and networks. The gathering allowed many of the participants to meet face to face and create new networks based on trust that can only be obtained in presential gatherings. Many of them brought to our attention that being able to be a whole week with other comrades learning about their experiences and realities, questioning and learning about technical topics that usually are not easy to access, brought them a lot of strength and empowerment. They were able to gather in a safe space where they could relax, eat, laugh, cry and dance and that allowed them to center in themselves and that is in itself an act of political rebellion. And finally the institute brought them the opportunity to better understand how to defend the territory in other contexts and how to navigate their own specific context to fight against criminalization, to organize campaigns, document proofs, create collective memories, develop cartographic processes, etc You can read about the follow up activities organised by GTI participants in the follwoing reports: ENG: https://gendersec.tacticaltech.org/wiki/images/2/2a/-Public_Sharing-_report_grant_land_defenders.pdf Report of follow up activities organised by participants of the GTI oriented at land defenders December 2018 - “Caring for life on earth: Holistic, digital and self care security” SPA: https://gendersec.tacticaltech.org/wiki/images/e/e2/InformeDefensoras_delatierra.pdf Informe de las actividades de seguimiento organizadas por las participantes del IGT orientado a defensoras de la tierra Febrero 2019 - “Cuidando de la vida en la tierra: Seguridad holística, digital y autocuidado”

  This session was a follow up to a pre-IFF gathering of feminist hosting providers. This session is a chance to engage with broader conversations about the directions, challenges and hopes for feminist infrastructure. The types of activities, campaigns and organizations that feminist infrastructure providers support are on the front lines of repression, violence and surveillance. Not only are feminist infrastructure providers working on mission critical communications and technical support projects for at-risk users and organizations, the women and non-binary people responsible for the servers, access and technical skills are themselves often working in oppressive conditions, both offline and online. Through sharing and mapping, we’ll use the session to outline strategies for nurturing solidarity and mentorship within nodes of feminist infrastructure projects and explore opportunities for existing services and organizational sustainability. The session was attended by 40 persons more or less that were curious about the concept of feminist infrastructure and the current scene of feminist initiatives that are building it. The session presented several initiatives: systerserver, anarchaserver, vedetas, cl4ndestina, kefir, colnodo, codigo sur.

  This years SIF theme is access seen from a multi-dimensional approach. The aspects of access will be covered through discussions of issues related to economy, technology, policy and human rights – with a special emphasis on gender equality. Access to the internet plays an important role in the economic, social, cultural and political development of societies and nations. There are still huge differences – both in terms of access and usage – between those who have, and those who do not have access to the internet, between countries and regions, between rich and poor, and between men and women. But access is often not what it seems, and simply having access to the internet does not necessarily achieve social justice and development outcomes. To help us understand access from a multi-dimensional perspective SIF15 will use gender as a lens that can enable us to see beneath the surface. What does access to the internet mean? Who has access to the internet? Who has the ability to assimilate the information available online? These are some areas which will be discussed during SIF15

  We believe that before telling this women participating in the project, about how great is the Internet, we needed to share with them more information related to how it works. So we started the introductory session on digital security with the exercise how the internet works, we talked about the stages or places where our information travels when sharing it through the Internet. One of the things I have learned about basic digital security with WHRD, is that we don't always know where the risks are, but sometimes we hear somthing about a certain tool and we quickly download it but we don't always use the tool in the right way. So this session always helps to get a general picture and also it helps to solve a lot of questions from different tools and different risks. We have now a couple of materials for the session, we also have the flyer on how the internet works: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/q8o7041fi8ac6mz/AAAUn56sjbpWa3krLldVPRnea?dl=0 A serie of cards like ISP, router, platforms that help in the facilitation of the dinamic.

How can we include that which excludes us? - How might we maximize efforts, ressources and ideas from past and present experiences? - How can we acknowldege precariousness and overcome technology overload? - How can the analogue -digital integration be turned into a mandate and a provocation?

• Digital security for the Association of Media Women, Kenya  + (When the femh3ck flash training in Nairobi …
  When the femh3ck flash training in Nairobi came to an end, one of the participants who was from AMWIK approached Mary Kiio of Roshani Consultancy Services and requested if the company would consider training their members as the issues highlighted were very pertinent to what women go through in the country. The potential of media being more informed on cyber threats especially women would hopefully translate to various media platforms being utilized to reach more women across the country A few days later an email from the secretariat of AMWIK inquiring on if we could share on the outcomes of the femh3ck training and a request on if we can engage in other similar activities and/or platforms, lead to the discussion of holding a three day training for its members over the month of August on Saturdays for three consecutive weekends. Though both companies did not have any funding for the training , there was an agreement that Roshani Consultancy Services would avail facilitators who would be willing to share information with no pay.AMWIK on the other hand committed to identify participants who are willing to attend training with the aim of being the future trainers. AMWIK also provided office space, Internet connection, workshop materials and snacks. It was the willing participants who shared their training needs via a pre training questionnaire that resonated with the theme of the training that provided the highest motivation of the training.

  Women Human Rights Defenders and LGTBQ activists from the balkans (albania, armenia, bosnia, croatia, serbia, georgia, macedonia) with low levels of knowledge regarding privacy and digital security. Almost all of them used Windows, had a smartphone and used facebook for work and activism. Most of them managed sensitive data involving third parties information. The background of the participants was different, they were coming from different countries from the Balkans and the Caucasus region, dealing with different issues but what they all had in common, was that they are WHRD, they all used facebook, managed sensitive data and 17 of them were using Windows. One was only using MAC after switching from Linux. The group had already built wonderful dynamic in their work as before the DST they have spent some days on workshop about integrated security. They already knew each other, some even from before.

• Criptofiesta: ¡aprende a cifrar tus correos!  + (¿Sabías que nuestros correos electrónicos …
  ¿Sabías que nuestros correos electrónicos están expuestos? “¿Por qué me vigilarían a mí?”, te preguntarás. Pues por muchas razones: porque nuestros datos son moneda de cambio y generan riqueza, porque los Estados están sedientos de controlar todo, porque las recolección, almacenamiento y procesamiento masivo de datos son la base del mundo que nos propone Sillicon Valley. Pero la buena noticia es tenemos derecho a que nuestras comunicaciones sean privadas y tenemos a mano las herramientas para garantizarlo. Así que una de las maneras de proteger nuestra privacidad y reducir nuestra sombra digital es cifrando nuestros correos. ¿Cifrando? ¡Tal vez te suena más la palabra encriptar! Pues eso, echar mano de las matemáticas para convertir nuestros mensajes en códigos ilegibles que sólo nosotras podamos leer. Queremos juntarnos, divertirnos y aprender a cifrar nuestros correos electrónicos de manera sencilla. ¿Te vienes a esta cryptofiesta?
