Take Back the Tech! campaign now a global movement
Since its inception in 2006, the Take Back the Tech!i campaign has grown into a global movement. Women everywhere are using technology to combat gender-based violence, and assert their rights to free and open online spaces. Despite its global reach, the Take Back the Tech! campaign is designed to be adapted to local issues and local circumstances. This year the campaign is focusing on building capacity for women to use ICTis safely and to build collaborative and systematic monitoring platforms to assess the scope and dimensions of how technology and violence against womeni intersect.
