El tema de la seguridad llega irrumpe. Analizamos los derechos, los conceptos, aprendemos tecnologías. Y seguimos desconectadas sin revisar nuestras interacciones.
CONSTRUIR UNA CULTURA EMANCIPATORIA EN NUESTRA RELACIÓN TECNOLOGICA, PASA POR CONOCER, ENTENDER, CAMBIAR....
El ejemplo del articulo me gusta, porque nos sorprende in fraganti. Y nos lleva a pensar en nuestros propios comportamientos, responsabilidades, eticas de relacionamiento, la necesidad de decir y decidir al interior de nuestras organizaciones como tratar la correspondencia y la comunicación por Internet.
Violaciones a los derechos en Internet, no es solo "una causa", o una acción, nos involucra eticamente. Y ese cambio para mi es el más difícil. Es decir construir una actitud emancipatoria de la relación de las mujeres con las Tics, pasa por aprender a construirla, y es un cambio cultural muy grande, más allá de las experticias que aprendemos.
Your post on anonymity was great to read. It sums up the decision we all have to make when voicing our opinions to decide whether to be anyonymous or not. I find that people readily decide on the legitimacy of an opinion by evaluating the writer. This can distract from the message. The trick is to apply wisdom in deciding when to be anonymous and when it is in the interest of the group or person to reveal their identity.

I am going today to talk about feminism, politics and the internet at the first academy for women politicians in Bosnia-Herzegovina. I will use a lot of our talks and learning at Feminist Tech Exchange and definitely will talk about anonymity as a necessary political space.

Its wonderful that you are getting ideas from this article as well as from our discussion made here.
An interesting blog Nyx.
But I beg to differ with you on armchair activists - because I consider myself one. I am an arm chair activist who is committal to "burning issues" of the moment. For me tweeter is a platform that I can use to unleash that "activist" side.
I followed tweets on #rapevideo and mostly it wasn't about sharing the video but outrage by the public on this despicable act. There was even "constructive" discussion on how as a nation we can learn from this, what could be the causes, how society can remedy this etc. I found most of the tweets very educational (I didn't know that an average 181 people are raped every day in SA)and even had some rape survivors talking about their ordeal. There were even NGOs, professional counselors, social workers who were also offering their services for free to anyone who could have been through such an ordeal.
A protest might work in one context but not in another. In repressive regimes like Zimbabwe you need to apply for permission to protest - hence twitter and other social platforms fill in that gap.
Listening to the radio today about the same issue - most of the comments were coming from the ordinary armchair activists and I am dismayed that most NGOs dealing with GBV have not yet said anything about this. If they have then its hidden somewhere probably on their obsolete websites) and is certainly not on twitter or other social networks.... where you have the youths/school children where gang rape seems to be most prevalent.

Vale,
have you heard of pidder? You may use it completely anonymously use pseudonyms and/or use your rel name - you decide in wich context you present yourself or aspects of yourself... & you can connect with people you trust. All data is also automatically encrypted. As an activist that can be crucial.
I think the issue here may have been a bit more serious, and spoke to his (un/conscious) disconnection from the overall community. Regadrs App Creator
It's hard to know which suggestions to give as each locality has different options. Some communities have police forces and community resource centers that would respond properly if notified of the abuse - others might not even think this is abuse depending on cultural norms and the way that violence against women is accepted and de-prioritised in so many cultures... But without a doubt you must find out if there are local resource centers - perhaps a women's organisation or documentation center? - that you can turn to for help and advice. If you are able to communicate with your girlfriend be careful - remember that sometimes aggressors monitor phone calls and internet communication and she could be put at further risk. Read the Be-safe section of Take Back the Tech! (http://www.takebackthetech.net) to find out more about how this can happen and how to take measures against it. Certainly if the women in question have mobility and can turn to other support structures themselves directly, get them phone numbers and addresses so they can proceed.
Hi, i need help, my girlfriend is being sexually, physically and emotionally assaulted by her half brother, I knew that it happened in the past but she told me it stopped. I recently realized that it has not! I found out horrible things that he has done in the past which he told me, I pretended to be his friend so I could see my girlfriend more, because obviously he didn't allow her to go out much. Her mother is so emotionally scarred that she allows it to happen for he provides for them. His money is now finished and I can and want to provide and give them a better home of course! I can't allow this to continue. He makes me look bad infront of her mother so she won't allow me to look after them. I threatened him with SMS's saying if he touches them again I will go to the policee, I realized that this was the wrong way to go and I desperately need help!!!!!!
i don't see any reason to categorize and to add the idea that gay is any different from straight. we are all sexual and socially constructed beings. why do many homosexuals worry about "coming out?" heterosexuals do not make an issue about openly declaring their sexual preferences..movies
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along.I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Thanks

Once the concept for .gay could be touched and experienced I looked for partners with the right background and deep rooting within the LGBT community to take it over," says Schubert.

All is well and fine. It is a good and even necessary campaing. The only problem I have with it is that it is not inclusive. Somehow it forgets about boys and then again, it also forgets about men. Or are men better protected, less at risk, less liable to social, political, or economical control and abuse?
We are all human beings and not that different. We need to think of the human person, the collective and to be as inclusive as we can.
The goals of the Take Back the Tech are fantastic, all that has been done is amazing. Hope the energy carries on and becomes more aware an inclusive to all people in all walks of life.
Congratulations on what has been achieve so far.

It's not just that women get criticised more than men, nor even the emotional content of the abuse, it's that women are attacked for being women. They are subjected to criticism for who they are, not what they write, on a scale that dwarfs anything men face. And because it's anonymous the rage of the discomfited male netizen becomes embodied in sexual violence, in a way that would be beyond the pale outside a virtual environment. And the reason it would be beyond the pale is because the person would be ostracised, outcast and despised. Grady is right - we need to take action against abuse, silence doesn't work.
in the near future ALL kind of domians will be liberated, so you could buy a .gai .straight .lesbin .mydogispretty...there's no matter what extension you take, so for commercial purposses .gai could be very interesting for companies and bussiness that works with this kind od market
i find this domain namei proposal more scary than anything else, and afraid dot gay will immediately start to score on all 'black' lists. i really struggle to find any positive effect of this domain name proposal for LGBTIiQ community.
Why are they worrying? Maybe cause they are afraid to lost their job, families, friends, or even life?...havent you noticed that quite a bit of society is quite homophobic, and there are still number of countries where same-sex relationships are illegal.
I don't see any reason to categorize and to add the idea that gay is any different from straight. We're all sexual and socially constructed beings. Why do many homosexuals worry about "coming out?" Heterosexuals do not make an issue about openly declaring their sexual preferences.
Done well. We re impressed with the caliber of the content offered. I have high hopes that you keep up with the great work conducted.
Wish I could be there in the debate, have certain things to discuss.
Thank you

as xxx it will allow all those who have specific needs to go "straight" there. more seriously, it will ghettoise gay people and ae the more queeri they necessarily are. can't help finding double sense word when replying to this post.hahahaha
I am seldom in a US library, but ever since I learned about the EROTICS research, whenever I *am* in a place with supposed "public access" I always attempt to make searches on sexual health to see what comes up - or not. I am also curious about how filters affect multi-lingual access.
Who gets to decide what people can view (or post) is always a tough call. I for example do not report sexist or demeaning videos on youtube as inappropriate content but do do so when a video shows a clear violation of rights - ie, women being assaulted online including portrayal of the victim´s face.
I also have to admit that I agree personally with this statement of the Denver Public Library - "In addition, we feel that accessing pornography in a public place is inconsistent with the welcoming and comfortable environment we seek to provide." Having been in cybercafes where just to walk to your computer you see varied images of sex acts on your neighboring screens I have to agree that in my case, those cybercafes do not make me feel welcome or safe for me or my kid. But, everyone´s definition of pornography is different, and imposing one definition over another - and furthermore hoping that filtering software can understand one´s complex definitions - point to the need for solutions other than filtering.
At least in the case of the Denver Library system, it seems like they are caught between a rock and a hard place - having to comply with legislation that has a very narrow scope or at least a highly subjective one (and if they do not comply, being liable to lawsuits in sue-happy US) and that passion of librarians - access to knowledge and information. I read their computer/internet policy which governs general use, and noted that at least in their specially created "teens" site there is a section devoted to sexuality, sexual pleasure and health, specifically selected by staff (but just a snip of what is available on this subject and limited information about what to do if you are raped or a victim of incest). http://teens.denverlibrary.org/life/sex.html.
The computer policy also refers to keeping the privacy screens on the computers and erasing customer histories - if these two measures were employed consistently even on personal laptops the "welcoming" library concern would be addressed.
Thanks for providing a different entry point into the great research done on EROTICS - and to help us all build better arguments and understanding regarding the need for a free and accessible internet.
