Description: Our session will consist to show to attendees and participants the differents tools which have been use to combat and aware the online violence based on gender during the last year such as media campaings, strategic litigation, IA, etc.
Every panelist will have 8 minutes to explain their tools and how this has been effective or not in their environment.
For example Acoso Online will explain their research regarding online gender violence, highlighting the opportunities and challenges of the research.
Our intention is to develop a session to articulate collective strategies, plan campaigns and other actions among several NGOs and working together with the rest of the representatives to discover which tools are the more effective ones.
To conclude, there will be an open space to the audience to make questions and comments about it, because our most important concern is to know from the attendees -in their own opinion- which the presented tools, seems to be more effective and what are the weaks points of each of them, with the compromise to work on improve them and even change our point to address the issue.
Expected Outcomes: The format of the session, presentation first and group comments after, seeks to receive how the discussion follow, and collect the reactions and ideas, in order to develop strategies collectively, from Academia, Companies and pairs.
We will provide to audience at the begining of the workshop a a list which includes every ways to gender violence which can find online and we ask them which the presented tools they find more effective one against each situation.
Relevance to Theme: The proposed workshop is relevant because online gender violence is a current issue, however, it is an issue that has been subject of studies, advocacy campaigns, digital measures, toolkits, and other different responses. All these have in common that are responses from a gender perspective which have been the reason many times of their success.
It is precisely from these experiences that the Workshop will try through various representatives of organizations to generate activities that reveal where are the weak points in strategic, where are the complex situations to provide support to victims, and how has been possible to achieve success in actions and reactions against online gender violence.
Relevance to Internet Governance: Along of the years we can see that the important changes starts from a crisis which now is visualize it -thanks to the technology - faster and clear, on many ways. Now, with the point of view of the feminism and its actors the idea is to contribute and to solve the issue together with the the representative of other sectors to improve the measures and helping the victims in the best way possible.
Today the issue is on the table, and we cannot ignore the thousands of victims of gender violence around the world. This violence which tends to be more and more aggressive, but so far there is not an effective tool which can take away the danger of that , so it is time to find a way together to make the difference, learning from our mistakes and find better ways to combat this.
