Digital Storytelling
Digital storytelling to fight violence against women - Pakistan
From June 7 – 11, South Asian APC member Bytes for All will unite fellow APC members and women activists alike for a joint event, funded by the APC’s Member Exchange Fund. Representatives from several APC organisations will meet in Islamabad to attend a workshop on digital storytelling and learn how to Take Back the Tech! to end violence against women. This Feminist Tech Exchange will unite 12 – 15 activist women so they can be trained to further train others in the Asian region.

WENT Africa Training in Digital Storytelling to End Violence Against Women
“I never knew technology could be so useful to transform ones life until after the 5 day workshop on ‘Digital Story Telling’. Seriously there was more to this than just telling a story.” - Participant WENT 2007
Women came with their stories from Zimbabwe, Congo, Mali, Gambia, Kenya, Uganda, Brazil, and South Africa.
APC Africa Women in partnership with Women’sNet hosted this year’s Women’s Electronic Networking Training for women who document – as content developers, librarians, archivists, journalists, mediators, translators, information activists – the lives of women affected by violence in Africa.
Women developed short videos reflecting their experiences as women documenters. The group examined the power dimensions of story telling and how to retain authenticity of voice – one’s own and those of the people whose stories are being documented, preserved or disseminated.
