Digital Rights are Women*s Rights by Digital Freedom Fund

Origi­nal post here

In honour of Inter­na­ti­o­nal Women’s Day 2021, DFF presents a series to high­light the impor­tance of inter­sec­ti­o­nal femi­nism for digi­tal rights.

This collec­tion of blogs, contri­bu­ted by guest authors from our network, illus­tra­tes why we must embrace inter­sec­ti­o­nal pers­pec­ti­ves if we want to defend the digi­tal rights of all. It explo­res issues ranging from the impor­tance of femi­nist tech­no­lo­gi­cal infras­truc­ture, to the role of online plat­forms in figh­ting against sexual violence, to women’s access to abor­tion infor­ma­tion online.

This mini-series follows on from our previ­ous series, Digi­tal Rights are Human Rights.
