“Strategising Online Activism: A Toolkit” was designed for and by women activists but can be used by everyone. Key chapters include: strategising and planning your online activism; creating your campaign’s identity; social networking and security on the internet. vioThe guide provides practical and accessible step-by-step advice, while keeping a political and feminist eye. It was developed by APC’s women’s programme (APC WNSP) and our partner Violence is Not our Culture (VNC).

The toolkit aims to build:

  • An understanding of why and how information and communications technologies (ICTs) can be appropriated by women's rights and human rights groups in their advocacy skills through their use of online tools, including networking and mobile tools for advocacy and campaigning
  • The ability to develop an advocacy/communication strategy
  • Knowing what social networking is and the various spaces and tools they could use in their online activism
  • An understanding of online privacy and security issues relevant to building their online activism.
