#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

Mustapha Lawal - The internet is a public good. Governance must be shared. This video is a call to those who shape the digital world. It challenges closed decision-making and demands shared digital governance. Participation must mean real power, not symbolic consultation. Affordable access is a rights issue, not a technical afterthought. Transparency, accountability, and open algorithms are non-negotiable. Security must protect people without sacrificing freedom or dignity. The internet is a public good, and its future must be just and inclusive. The video was inspired by the CADE Youth Voices for digital rights programme manifesto which you can read here: https://www.forus-international.org/en/campaigns?modal_page=pdf&modal_detail_id=youth-manifesto-for-digital-rights Disclaimer: This video was co-funded by the European Union.
