Welcome to the Take Back the Tech uk blog

Submitted by admin on Thu, 11/22/2007 - 11:51.

We'd like to make this space a creative mix of action, ideas and stories.

Some areas that we're particularly keen to hear from you about are:
-- stories of resistance: in real life and in the virtual world, do you know of ways that women have successfully protected themselves in times of threat?

-- recommendations: do you know other organisations doing work in this field that we haven't profiled?

-- next year: are you interested in working with us on next year's campaign?

16 days of activism to end VAW in Ireland

Submitted by karenb on Thu, 11/29/2007 - 15:06.

This is our first year of Take Back the Tech UK. We're learning a lot as we move through the 16 days, about women's organisations in the UK, and how they're using ICTS in their work.

Reclaim the Night!

Submitted by liz on Sun, 11/25/2007 - 12:50.

Really enjoyed the march last night, great to see so many women turn up to show their support, and to see women and men cheering us along the way!

The campaign is organised by 'Take Back the Tech uk', a national initiative based on the APC WNSP international 'Take Back the Tech' campaign launched in 2006.

Take Back the Tech uk is organised by a group of women's rights activists from various UK organisations who are committed to ending violence against women, and in this campaign, are supporting and encouraging women to reclaim and use information and communication technologies (ICTs) in their work to stop violence against women.
