People behind the campaign
What is take back the tech?
Take Back The Tech! is a collaborative campaign that takes place during the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-based Violence (25 Nov - 10 Dec). It is a call to everyone - especially women and girls - to take control of technology to end violence against women.
In 2006, Take Back the Tech! was initiated by the Association for Progressive Communications’ Women's Networking Support Programme (APC WNSP), a network of more than 150 women from different parts of the world who support women networking for social change and women’s empowerment, through the use of information and communication technologies.
Since it began, the campaign has been taken up, adapted and owned by individuals, groups, networks and organisations all over the world. Campaigners have taken action and initiated local Take Back The Tech! campaigns in Bangladesh, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, the Congo, Germany, India, Macedonia, Mexico, Malaysia, the Philippines, Rwanda, South Africa, Uganda, UK, Uruguay, USA, and more!
There have also been several autonomous Take Back The Tech! campaign websites in different languages, including:
And the list is growing!
