Women’s rights online: A research and policy advocacy initiative on women’s empowerment through the web

This report provides a comprehensive snapshot of  country, which, on its face, is a leader in promoting women’s access to and use of the internet. In addition to research and qualitative interviews, this study incorporates the result of a face-to-face household survey conducted in urban poor residential areas in the Philippines. Compared to other countries where the survey was similarly conducted, the Philippines seems to be far more effective in facilitating women’s access to the internet and ensuring they are able to use the internet for a wide range of activities with confidence.

Human Rights and Philippine Digital Environment Joint Submission to the Universal Periodic Review of the Philippines

This submission focuses on the Philippines’ compliance under international human rights law on the promotion, protection and fulfillment of rights particularly in the Internet, and observes the following areas of concern: (1) Freedom of expression;  (2) Online gender-based violence; and (3) Privacy and data protection.

The previous UPR made no mention of the right to privacy, nor of any privacy related violations in the country. However, privacy issues, including State surveillance and data breaches have become more prominent since the last UPR.

This report jointly submitted with the Association for Progressive Communications (APC), Access Now , and the Women’s Legal and Human Rights Bureau (WLB).

Making a Feminist Internet in Southeast Asia

What is it like to be a feminist in the time of the internet? What kind of internet will be beneficial to women, LGBTQI people, indigenous people, persons with disabilities, and other marginalized groups? If we were to create feminist internet, how would it look like?

This paper will take a look at the making of a feminist internet in Southeast Asia. It aims to deepen our understanding of how the digital landscape has affected feminists, women’s rights and sexual rights, and intersectional movement building work in the sub-region, and shed light on that the feminist principles of the internet are and how they can be used towards a transformative internet. It will explore current efforts and initiatives in Southeast Asia that contribute towards building strong and resilient feminist movements, both offline and online.

Climate Change under Indonesia’s G20 Presidency 2022: Overview, Challenges and Ways Forward

This report highlights imbalances between women’s and men’s access to and participation in ICTs and asserts that more needs to be done to ensure that women equally enjoy the benefits arising from the global knowledge-based economy at all levels of ICT policy and practice. Integration of gender perspectives within ICT for Development (ICTD) calls for increased political commitment by policy-makers and practitioners accompanied by dedicated measures and resources. As promising new areas such as e-governance, e-learning or e-commerce increasingly entrench these emerging technologies, it is crucial that policy directions and processes are effectively planned from the outset, and that proper linkages are established not only between gender and ICTs, but also across these other sectors – for which specific gender mainstreaming requirements must be accommodated.

Feminist Internet Research Network: Meta-research project report

The meta-research project formed part of the broader FIRN project and created a feminist space for dialogue to explore the complexities of doing internet research. This was done through the critical exploration of the research methodological processes and ethical practices of the eight FIRN research projects. The aim of the meta-research project was to bring FIRN project partners into conversation with each other through this report.

From the very beginning, the meta-research project understood that research on the internet is complex and that current methodological approaches and research tools are not sufficiently reflexive to account for “feminist thinking around dynamics of power, politics of location, relationship with participants, access to digital data and so on.”

Power X Expression X Violence: Women’s freedom of expression on social media in Malaysia

In Malaysia, and to some extent, globally, gender inequality is often and rightly addressed in terms of GBV and gender discriminatory impacts. However, the impact of gender inequality in relation to freedom of opinion and expression is largely unaddressed. A framework for an unrestrained freedom of opinion and expression means very little to women if it ignores the inherent unequal power dynamics in our access to human rights and equal protection under the law.

This research intends to better understand the barriers and biases resulting from algorithms in women’s access to freedom of opinion and expression, and to examine women’s resiliency and how they navigate these algorithms that are inherently limiting to create the much-needed space for women and gender non-conforming persons to speak out, to be heard, and to, in effect, occupy digital spaces.

Feminist Principles of the Internet

The Feminist Principles of the Internet are a series of statements that offer a gender and sexual rights lens on critical internet-related rights. They were drafted at the first Imagine a Feminist Internet meeting that took place in Malaysia in April 2014. The meeting was organised by the Association for Progressive Communications (APC) and brought together 50 activists and advocates working in sexual rights, women’s rights, violence against women, and internet rights. The meeting was designed as an adapted open space where topics were identified, prioritised, and discussed collectively.

The Digital Revolution: Implications for Gender Equality and Women’s Rights 25 Years after Beijing

This paper illustrates, through an intersectional lens, how digital technologies shape, and are shaped by, gender relations and gendered power structures. Many systemic risks (and opportunities) exist for women’s equality today, as do specific educational, technological and policy solutions that would mitigate these problems. In this report, we examine three substantive areas: education, work and social/welfare services. Despite promising movements towards gender equality, there is much more to be done.
