FemTech_Africa
Funders: Internews
Goal: Empower women HRDs
and journalists to take digital safety into their own hands through public
awareness raising and keeping themselves and their communities safer online
Project Overview
Internews, in partnership with
DefendDefenders, WOUGNET, and others, proposes FemTech- Africa, a 24-month
program to empower women HRDs and journalists in Cameroon, DRC, Senegal, and
Uganda to fully and safely participate in increasingly digital societies. The
project’s two-pronged model offers both immediate digital safety training and
long-term systemic policy and advocacy support to help women survive and thrive
in a digital world. FemTech-Africa will empower 200 women across four countries
with stronger digital safety skills, and the ability to pass on to their
communities approaches to mitigate online violence.
Project Duration: 24- months
