Listers,
While cyber space has provided secure tools and spaces where women can enjoy their freedom of expression and privacy of communication, the same benefits of anonymity and privacy also extend to those who use them for criminal activities, and use the internet to commit violence against women (http://www.kictanet.or.ke/?page_id=57).
The use of cell phones, social networking and micro-blogging sites remain great tools to stay connected. But they are also easy to misuse. For example women have been intimidated, humiliated or even stalked using these tools.
Questions
1. How can we strengthen participation of women in areas of internet governance, telecommunications, and cyber crime policy regulation?
2. Do ISPs and Mobile companies have policies on online/virtual violence against women?
3. What actions can be taken to encourage service providers, companies etc to develop corporate user policies and practices in relation to user rights to freedom of expression and privacy, transparency
4. In what ways can various stakeholders contribute to remedies, from a technical/social perspective?
The floor is open..
