In 16 slides x 16 seconds, Take Back The Tech!ⁱ presentation narrates the story of how violence against womenⁱ and ICTⁱs links together in Malaysia. The presentation builds on the paper Malaysia: Violence against Women and Information Communication that , provides a snapshot and baseline on the law and policyⁱ in these two areas. The paper is part of the APC WNSP project 'MDG3: Take Back the Tech! to end violence against womenⁱ' that connects ICTs, VAW and Millennium Development Goal Three (MDG3ⁱ) in practice, policy and law.

Chim Manavy examines how growth of the internetⁱ is pushing the limits of a society's attitudes towards acceptable media images, through exploitative use of images taken for private consumption. Technology is moving across boundaries faster than the law can address. At the same time, ICTⁱ use in general, much less awareness of how ICTs can be strategically used to combat violence against womenⁱ, is very limited in Cambodia. While other women’s organisations and networks worldwide are already using online resources in a myriad of ways to mobilise support and share experiences, most Cambodian women are not familiar with the use of ICT.
