It can be used to solve the world’s largest problems, bridge the opportunity divide, act as a creative outlet and connect people from around the world. We’re living in a digital age where technology transcends space — from schools to hallways to campus grounds to workplaces and the home but unfortunately, the ubiquitous nature of technology also means that the challenges that come along with it can be ubiquitous as well. For millions of women and girls, that means being subjected to deliberate online violence because of their gender. According to recent global research by the UN, 9 million women have experienced a form of cyberviolence and are 27 more times likely to be abused online than men.

DIY Feminist Cybersecurity. Your online accounts are points of access to your life both online and off.
From email to social media to shopping, your accounts are crucial for pretty much everything you do through the internet.

Gamergate: The Greatest Trick The Devil Ever Pulled - The Establishment. The greatest trick that Gamergate ever pulled was convincing (some of) the world that they represent one side of an ever-evolving, deeply complicated, and oh-so-contentious debate.
In GG’s metaphysical hive-mind, there are two “sides” to the gaming world at present: in one corner stands the Gamergaters, who staunchly believe in “ethics in journalism,” reject censorship, and want games and gaming communities to stay just the way they are. In the other corner stand the Social Justice Warriors (SJWs), who want games to be neutered and declawed, the elimination of any and all so-called problematic content, and the privilege of political correctness to reign over freedom of speech. GGs claim to want nothing more than civil debate on the topic, a chance for both sides to meet and exchange ideas.

Berghahn Journals Instant Identity: Adolescent Girls and the World of Instant Messa... Du sexisme et du féminisme chez les geeks.

Girl Scouts learn computer skills at Geek Squad Summer Academy - Hammond Star: Hammond. 7 Powerful STEM Resources For Girls. The statistics surrounding STEM education and jobs in the US are rather staggering to me. The latest that I’ve read indicate that US students are still trailing WAY behind other nations in Science and Math education ( US ranks 47th in Math and Science education quality, and 78% of high school graduates don’t meet the standard levels for at least one entry level STEM class ). To top it off, there’s a pretty strong gender divide in the STEM subjects: Many fewer girls are interested in even studying these subjects, and they don’t feel at all confident about their skills.

#FemFuture: The Feminist Revolution Will Be Online. FemFuture The Feminist Revolution Will Be Online The traditional image of the feminist activist is one with a sign picketing outside large buildings or taking over the streets and sidewalks. The common protest usually goes like this: There's a group of demonstrators in one physical space and one leader has a megaphone to amplify the message of the group. Although this protest method was certainly impactful in the past and still is today, what if there was a way that a demonstration could take place in many geographical areas simultaneously, where every member could have their own megaphone? Wouldn't that ground-breaking? Well, thanks to a powerful invention called the internet, it's happening. How Do We Define Online Feminism? #FemFuture Ignites Debate.

Women, Let’s Claim Wikipedia! Earlier this year, while I was sequestered in the bat-cave studying for my qualifying exam, I came across something very distressing. As has been widely reported, only 13 percent of the people editing Wikipedia articles are women.
Toutalego.blogspot.ca/2012/09/generation-blogueuses-le-portrait.html. En aout dernier, j’ai vu passer un article au sujet d’un livre intitulé "Génération blogueuses", dont la sortie était prévue le 5 septembre. Enthousiasmée par toute initiative visant à mettre à l’honneur les femmes sur le net dans leur diversité, j’ai immédiatement essayé d’en savoir plus. En fouinant sur le web, j’ai pu ainsi découvrir la couverture et le descriptif du livre. 1er choc visuel, les illustrations très girly censées symboliser toute la richesse de la blogosphère féminine : du rose et du pastel à gogo, du headband, du t-shirt Mickey et du tutu, et bien sûr des blogueuses forcément toutes montées sur talons hauts.
