Digital first aid

I really like this resource because right after answering questions related to specific situation, it immediately gives you the link related to the platform issue and it lists organizations that can help you.

Witness library

I like this resource because we've used it for filming protests and especially for organizing teams when filming! Other resources on this website cover documenting data during internet shutdown, encrypted galleries, tactics and strategies!

TakeBackTheTech Game

Role-playing game that puts you and the entire team on the spot to act in scenarios of online gender-based violence (blackmailing, trolling, porn pretending, etc) with roles: Survivors, Advisors, Public, Game Facilitator. You and your group get to build your Survivor profile with tips and advice on potential situations (you don’t know which scenario you will get). Amazing for education, discussion and strategizing on responses to online GBV. 

The FTX: Safety Reboot 

It’s one of the most beautiful and soulful digital safety training curriculums for trainers who work with women’s rights and sexual rights activists on using the internet safely, creatively and strategically. A handful resource with amazing illustration and graphics asking the right questions and sharing exercises about strategies of safe space building, our representation and self-expression online, mobile safety, online GBV response - rooted in care and experience of communities!

#JIF2019: LES CYBERVIOLENCES SEXISTES TOUCHENT 45% DE FEMMES SUR LES RÉSEAUX SOCIAUX EN AFRIQUE CENTRALE ET OCCIDENTALE

This is great because online gender-based violence against women in West and Central Africa is little mentioned and measured. This study was carried out in 18 countries in these two regions of Africa and truly offers an idea of the scale of the phenomenon in this part of the world.

Afrocyberféminismes

Everything about this initiative is amazing. The color palette, how the website looks “young” and adapted to our time. They also have many events related to gender, race, feminist internet, digital safety, and more. I love the intersection between all the different themes. It is based in Paris, France but covers Africa and its diasporas, which being 100% feminist.

Le dilemme des Marocaines victimes de cyber-harcèlement

This interview just shows the sad reality as the case of Loubna is not an isolated one. Her ex-fiancé posted intimate photos of her on social media because she left him. Of course she is the one who felt “guilty”, her family ostracized her and she had to quit his job. The big issue is that in Morocco relationships outside of marriage are punished by article 490 of the penal code, although there is a law protecting in case of harassment (including cyber harassment), Loubna almost faced jail time.

Violence faites aux femmes par les technologies au Maroc

This is literally the only study done in Morocco based on a survey on OGBV. Also it reflects on how the majority of Moroccan women women interviewed have been victims of OGBV. A lot have also decided to remain silent because of the way it is perceived by society. The sad reality is that women fear of being seen as responsible, and others have told that they have been punished . This summary also showcases how little action is being taken against the aggressor.

Diha Frassek movement against harassment and cyberbullying in Morocco (French)

Houda shares her motivation and goal behind the creation of Diha Frassek. She mentions how the idea came into realization and how the movement went viral, gained support from influencers, the press and the younger generations. She also shared her experience with assisting victims of OGBV and the ultimate goal of ending stigmas surrounding victim blaming in Morocco. It was very interesting to listen to this podcast because we learn about grassroots feminist work, and that most victims don’t know their rights, and even if they do, they are too scared to be “dishonored” by the family.
