[UgaBYTES] FTX Hub takes back the tech

[Ahmed Ndaula]

Dear members,

I thought this could be of interest to you.

Enjoy the reading.......

The Feminist Tech Exchange Hub opened today at the Power of Movements Forum
in Cape Town, South Africa, with the aim of placing technology and
communications rights at the center of women's rights strategising.
Skills-sharing, audio editing, blogging, live radio broadcasts, digital
storytelling, and an internet <http://www.apc.org/en/glossary/term/258> tech
hunt all form part of the Hub's activities 14 – 17 November.

The FTX Hub follows on the heels of the first global international Feminist
Tech Exchange (FTX) where over 100 women's rights activists debated about
the feminist practice of technology and gained new skills in using the
internet <http://www.apc.org/en/glossary/term/258> for
advocacy<http://www.apc.org/en/taxonomy/term/268>.
The FTX Hub is a place to put those skills into practice – and to share
ideas around how critical communications rights are to women's rights with
over 2000 women attending this Association for Women's Rights and
Development Forum.
