Feminist practices of technology: What's your approach? Celebrate International Women's Day by creating a buzz and add your take on how you use the internet, mobile phones and other communications technology for women's rights and empowerment on Twitter! #takebackthetech #iwd #feminist_tech

Violence against women violates our most fundamental human rights. Join the dots between violence against women and information and communication technologies as human rights issues. Grow the story with images that speaks about your context, ground them with your narratives or create your own story! 

Populate the internet with issues, knowledge and content related to women's rights and our diverse realities, perspectives and interests. Contribute to a feminist-built wiki.  Help make sure that documented living history does not neglect our perspectives and knowledge.

If you use the internet regularly, chances are, you will be searching for information using either Google, Yahoo!, Bing or ASK. Google is by far the most widely used internet search engine all over the world. This also means that these search engines are effectively the primary gate keepers of content we find online. Iit's worth reminding ourselves that we don't have to be limited to the gatekeepers we are used to all the time. We can explore  many other ways of categorising and presenting the wealth of information available, and we don't necessarily need to place all of our trust in one particular corporation. Chart a different journey into the world wide web.

What does it take to end violence against women? Sometimes it takes a large action: ratifying a convention, making a change in law, committing through policy and more. Most of the time, it takes small gestures: in everyday actions, everyday words, everyday interactions with the women and men around us, and within ourselves.  And sometimes, it might take just that one unlikely, but great and timely idea to start changing things. Join in the global brainstorm. What's your idea for ending violence against women?
