Renata Avila has written on Global Voices about the Take Back The Tech Campaign.

She focused on the importance of such a campaign in Central America, highlighting some of the female bloggers who focus on technology:

"This is one of the many initiatives across the globe that are encouraging women not to be afraid of technologies and through education [es] on how to use it to improve their lives. Today more than ever, it is important for women and girls to use technologies to improve their lives, especially in Central America."
