Jointly with the Take Back the Tech! campaign, GenderIT.org is taking part in a Twitter blast to contribute to put tech-related violence against women and girls on the table at the CSW57.


Please help us get out the message far and wide during the session, but especially March 6 and 8. Tweet early and often!
