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?

Dicha convocatoria se enmarca en el proyecto de investigación sobre stream y procesos creativos con software y tecnologías libres, que coordina Julián Pérez. #Akelarreciberfeminista (que se colectiviza a través de una convocatoria pública más para formar un grupo de investigación diverso) se trata de empoderarnos y diseñar juntxs un kit de autodefensa feminista en la red. 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.

Written in simple language, the guide will teach you everything you need to know about how you can be tracked – and how to hide your tracks on email, browsers, facebook and other platforms. 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.

Editado para el 32° ENCUENTRO NACIONAL DE MUJERES, TRANS TRAVAS Y LESBIANAS en CHACO, 2017. Nuestros teléfonos no solo son ventanas abiertas en nuestras vidas, sinotambién en las vidas de nuestrxs amigxs, familias, compas...y cualquiera d e nuestrxs contactos. 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.

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?

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

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….

Licenseː Copright
Languageː English
Introducing our new Social Media Safety Guides for Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Tumblr, and Youtube! We have worked hard alongside each of these platforms to make the process of understanding online safety a priority. Every guide gives user friendly information on how to best use reporting and privacy tools on each platform, and for the very first time all of this information is located in one nifty location! Each guide offers expanded information regarding privacy settings and reporting tools, and provides this information with transparent and accessible language from each of the social media platforms. The guides provide a more user focused perspective to navigating tools to keep you safe online. Online harassment includes a wide range of targeted behaviors including: threats, continued hateful messages, doxing, DDoS attacks, swatting, defamation, and more. Online harassment can target (or come from) a group or individual and often has the expressed purpose of having the individual or group leave the internet or take down their content.
While there is space for debate and discussion online (as well as conflicting ideas!), what separates online harassment from healthy discourse is the focus on harm: including publishing personal information, sending threats with the intention to scare or harm, and even directly promoting harm against a person or organization. We believe in a free internet where individuals feel safe to connect, and online harassment isn’t a part of that.

Languageː English
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.

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.

The past several years have seen an increase in news, as well as a growing understanding that online harassment is a social, civil rights and workplace issue. 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)
