The digital world is a place of great opportunities for women’s rights. Through the widespread use of social media and the fast development of information and communication technologies, organising, protesting, shifting narratives and resisting is now just one click away.
However, the swift digitalisation of our societies has led to the creation of tools and platforms where preexisting gender-based violence is not only reproduced but also accentuated and, at times, even facilitated. To end the 16 Days of Activism campaign, EuroMed Rights and Oxfam joined up to discuss the digital world and online gender-based violence in the MENA Region. This discussion has been followed by a Q&A session with the audience.
In this webinar:
- Hadeel Qazzaz will present OXFAM’s report “Claiming and reclaiming the digital world as a public space”
- Lucille Griffon will present EuroMed Rights’ report “Online GBV in the Southern Neighbourhood (incl. Turkey)”.
