Women’sNet invites you to a day filled with activities to reclaim Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) back by occupying Miriam Makeba Street in Newton, Zimbabwe to demonstrate that online spaces need to be transformed, too. This is to demonstrate that in as much as we are reclaiming other spaces, online spaces need to be transformed too.
The day’s actions include blogging, SMS’ing, sending Tweets, and signing a banner which will be on display at the National Feminist Tech Exchange next year. All the day’s actions are under the banner of APC’s “Take Back the Tech! to end violence against women,” a global campaign working to reclaim ICTs to combat violence against women and girls. Come Take Back The Tech! with us!
What to Bring: cell-phone, laptop computer, your organisation’s banner, camp chair
