Whose streets? Ours! Witness silencing. Occupy. Create. 25 Nov - 10 Dec.


Take Back the Tech! is a campaign that reclaims the internet and women's often ignored herstory with technology, exploring and encouraging the creative use of digital technologies to denounce and eliminate online gender-based violence (GBV). Its name echoes back to the Take Back the Night marches all over the world, where women reclaimed public streets as their own, especially at night when they were told to stay inside because it wasn't safe. Today, the streets of the internet are increasingly inseparable from the streets of our lives and our communities.

OUR COLLECTIVE STORY: 10 YEARS OF TAKING ACTION ON TECHNOLOGY AND GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE


How have internet technologies changed in the past decade? How have these changes affected the way we engage, relate, organise and take action?
 
Take Back the Tech! started as the seed of an idea in 2006, recognising the need to reclaim women's historical contribution to technology development and to counter the growing expression of gender-based violence through information and communications technologies (ICTs).
