Across the globe, land and environmental defenders are facing growing digital repression – especially women and queer activists in the Global South. Every year, hundreds of defenders are murdered for protecting their homes and their communities.
This publication explores how grassroots movements are resisting surveillance, online violence and gendered disinformation by reclaiming technology through feminist, decolonial and solidarity-based approaches.
