Day 16: Dec 10 – International Human Rights Day | Communicate your stand against VAW!

The last day of the 16 days of activism against violence against women falls on 10 December - International Human Rights Day. This is to importantly remind us that violence against women is a violation of our fundamental human rights. How does technology present both risks and challenges, opportunities and potential for the realisation of the human rights of women? In what way does it strengthen or disrupt violence against women? How do you take back the tech? Share what you think.

      Women of Uganda Network (WOUGNET) is a non-governmental organization initiated in May 2000 by several women’s organisations in Uganda to develop the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) among women as tools to share information and address issues collectively. The mission of WOUGNET is to promote and support the use of ICTs by women and women organisations in Uganda, so that they can take advantage of the opportunities presented by ICTs in order to effectively address national and local problems of Sustainable National Development.
