Whose streets? Ours! Witness silencing. Occupy. Create. 25 Nov - 10 Dec.


Take Back the Tech! is a campaign that reclaims the internet and women's often ignored herstory with technology, exploring and encouraging the creative use of digital technologies to denounce and eliminate online gender-based violence (GBV). Its name echoes back to the Take Back the Night marches all over the world, where women reclaimed public streets as their own, especially at night when they were told to stay inside because it wasn't safe. Today, the streets of the internet are increasingly inseparable from the streets of our lives and our communities.

Feminist Forwards


Take Back the Tech! would not be complete without fun tech

play!We invite you to participate in our Feminist Forwards brainstorms in English and Spanish 4 December, and in French on 10 December, to collaboratively dream about the messages we'd like to receive and send in times of protest or celebration.

What sentiments would you like to see pop up on your message feed to fire your commitment?

What would you say to a friend in need? Or that perfect comeback you thought of after the fact?

Safety Reboot! A feminist response to digital safety.


We want to challenge online gender-based violence and to engage technology with pleasure, creativity and curiosity. To do this, we all need to build our capacity in digital safety. Join us in two fun learning activities drawn from the beta-version of FTX: Safety Reboot.

Feminist Tech eXchanges

FTX is WRP’s unique approach to building capacity, which creates safe spaces of exchange and experience where the politics and practice of technology are informed by local, concrete and contextual realities of women.

OUR COLLECTIVE STORY: 10 YEARS OF TAKING ACTION ON TECHNOLOGY AND GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE


How have internet technologies changed in the past decade? How have these changes affected the way we engage, relate, organise and take action?
 
Take Back the Tech! started as the seed of an idea in 2006, recognising the need to reclaim women's historical contribution to technology development and to counter the growing expression of gender-based violence through information and communications technologies (ICTs).

STRENGTHEN SOLIDARITY: SHARE YOUR STRATEGIES FOR COUNTERING VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN

The issue of technology-related violence against women and girls has reached the mainstream. Finally, media outlets are writing about it, state actors are debating it and internet platforms are exploring ways to address it. But the most important conversation is happening between women who engage with the internet and those who have faced such violence. The most valuable insights and ideas come from you.
