Take Back the Tech
After a series of successful workshops on empowering young women to use ICTs for social change and an equally successful gender initiative at ArabNetME, Nasawiya is thrilled to announce the launch of Take Back the Tech in Beirut. We are now part of a global collective of organizations, feminists, and geeks working on reclaiming information and communication technology (ICT) to promote gender equality.
With Take Back the Tech / Arabia, we aim to:
- Encourage, train, and support young women to use ICTs creatively, purposefully, and efficiently
- Encourage girls to geek up and venture into tech-related careers
- Promote a gender lens among tech initiatives in the Arab world, especially those in the non-profit sector
- Create and support online initiatives, programs, and applications to fight violence against women
- Bridge feminism and communication rights in the Arab world
We invite you to join forces with us! For more information, email n.moawad[at]gmail.com
