Las que ‘tejen’ con fibra óptica contra la violencia digital a las mujeres

PodCat Feminist spectrum and infrastructure
In this podcast we’re going to talk about women, technology, infrastructure and the electromagnetic spectrum, from a feminist perspective. First off, let’s understand technology as ways of being, living, loving, suffering, resisting, organising, cooking...all are ancestral forms of technology. We also have infrastructure - the elements that make technologies operate so powerfully.

Amiga, ¡qué hacker!
“¡Amiga qué hacker!”, es lo que decimos con mis amigas, cuando, por ejemplo, cambiamos la configuración de privacidad en alguna red social, ingresamos a un baño al que ‘no deberíamos poder ingresar’ o organizamos una editatona.

[Publicaciones] Vamos falar sobre “revenge porn”: estratégias jurídicas de enfrentamento no Brasil
A divulgação não consentida de imagens intimas não é algo novo. Em setembro de 2006, um vídeo em que a modelo Daniela Cicarelli e o namorado são filmados tendo relações sexuais em uma praia na Espanha foi amplamente noticiado. No entanto, somente em 2013, após a ampla cobertura da mídia o caso de duas adolescentes que cometeram suicídio após terem vídeos íntimos divulgados por ex-namorados jogou luz ao problema, que ganhou o nome da mídia e socialmente de “revenge porn”.
