Communication Rights

Day 13 | Be safe | Social networking & privacy

Social networking has become a defining feature of the internet for many of us today. But what happens when trust is compromised, privacy violated and abuse happens? Take back the tech! Exercise your right to privacy, take it offline & play! 

Social networking has become a defining feature of the internet for many of us today. We find information and catch up on the latest news through what our contacts post on Twitter or Facebook. We build our trust based what other people say through their comments, links, reviews and opinions, rather than what is officially produced by institutions such as the media, private corporations or the government.

Día 12 | Toma partido | No reenvíes la violencia

No reenvíes la violencia. En su lugar, difunde acciones y llamamientos a detener la violencia hacia la mujer. ¡Toma partido!

Hay muchas maneras de ser testigo. Ver es un acto político. Cuando ves, afectas lo que ves y esto te afecta a ti. Lo que aportas al acto de atestiguar es la política que aportas a la situación. 

¿Cómo atestiguas la violencia contra las mujeres? ¿La ves como espectadora, interesada sólo en que te conmueva, aburra o entretenga? ¿O lo haces como una persona comprometida con la creación de un mundo más justo e igualitario libre de violencia contra las mujeres?

Jour 12 | Prenez position | Ne fais pas suivre la violence

Ne faites pas suivre la violence. A l’opposé, diffusez l'action et lancez des appels pour arrêter la violence à l’égard des femmes. Prenez position !

 

On peut témoigner de nombreuses façons. Voir est un acte politique. Lorsqu’on voit, on touche ce qui est vu et cela nous affecte. Ce que l’on apporte dans l’acte de témoigner est l’aspect politique que l’on apporte à la situation.
Comment vois-tu la violence faite aux femmes? Tu l’observes en spectateur, seulement intéressée pour être scandalisée, ennuyée ou divertie? Ou tu la vois comme une personne qui veut créer un monde plus juste et égalitaire, libre de toute violence contre les femmes?

Day 12 | Take a Stand | Don’t forward violence

Don't forward violence. Take a pledge to not forward images, messages or videos of someone being violated or humiliated. Make a stand!

There are many ways to bear witness. Seeing is a political act. When you see, you affect what is being seen, and it affects you. What we bring into the act of witnessing is the politics that we bring into situation.

Day 9 | Be safe | Use https!

What does being “safe” on the internet mean for you? Does it mean feeling confident about your skills? Are you concerned about your privacy? If someone found out about the websites that you visit or the information that you download, would you be at risk? Know the risks and empower yourself with knowledge.

What does being “safe” on the internet mean for you? Does it mean feeling confident about your skills? Are you concerned about your privacy and about others having access to your emails, photos, files or who you communicate with? Are you an activist who needs to hide your real identity to stay safe? If someone found out about the websites that you visit or the information that you download, would you be at risk?
