The Feminist Internet Research Network (FIRN) and Resistance and Resilience: Collaborative Responses to Online Attacks on Environmental Defenders (R&R), initiatives led by the Association for Progressive Communications (APC), will be hosting a three-day online symposium that brings together research partners working on technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV) from diverse yet interconnected social and geopolitical standpoints.
This symposium brings together partners, researchers, academics and activists to celebrate the achievements of the FIRN and R&R initiatives. This symposium will create a shared space for reflection, learning and collaborative knowledge building across movements.
Grounded in feminist and community-led research, the discussions will explore how digital infrastructures, colonial power relations and structural inequalities shape technology-facilitated violence, as well as broader social and environmental injustices. Through cross-movement dialogue, this symposium will generate collective insights and strengthen counter-narratives that support more effective policy engagement, rights advocacy and strategic organising globally.
