#MarchaConNosotras - Jazmín Ruiz Díaz de TEDIC sobre violencia digital basada en género En este nuevo episodio continuamos con la 6ª edición de la campaña Marcha Con Nosotras por la justicia de género. La idea de que internet sería un espacio neutral y emancipador ha demostrado ser insuficiente. Hoy sabemos que las desigualdades y la violencia basada en género no solo persisten en línea, sino que muchas veces se amplifican y adoptan nuevas formas. Un mensaje, una imagen o una publicación pueden tener consecuencias reales sobre el trabajo, la seguridad y la salud emocional de las personas. Para profundizar en estos desafíos, conversamos con Jazmín Ruiz Díaz, responsable de proyectos de género y tecnología en TEDIC, una organización sin fines de lucro de Paraguay dedicada a la defensa de los derechos humanos en entornos digitales, desde una perspectiva feminista e interseccional. Una conversación necesaria sobre cómo defender derechos, construir seguridad y promover justicia de género en la era digital. https://www.forus-international.org/es/campaign/marchwithus
