National Strategy Workshop on VAW and ICTs in Uganda

WOUGNET, in collaboration with the APC WNSP is implementing the “Strengthening Women’s Strategic Use of Information and Communications Technologies to Combat Violence against Women and Girls project” in Uganda. The project builds on the APC WNSP’s work on VAW and ICTs and is aimed at helping women participants negotiate the fraught terrain of the new digital landscape in which ICTs hold out both the promise of greatly increased freedoms and also the growing concerns about privacy and security.

As part of the project’s initiatives WOUGNET will be holding the National Strategy Workshop with key stakeholders in the area of VAW and ICT in order to explore and understand the connections between violence against women and ICT and develop strategies to find collective and integrated solutions to end violence against women and girls, paying particular attention to ICT policies and interventions.
