Take Back the Tech is a campaign with a call for women to reclaim information communications technology (ICT) and use it in activism to eliminate violence against women. The site provides some examples of how ICT can be, and has been, used in this way (as well as examples of how ICT can and has been used in harmful ways to perpetrate violence against women). The site suggests actions you can take for each of the 16 days* and invites readers to submit their own action list. There’s a Take Back the Tech photoset and a Take Back the Tech photo pool on Flickr. You can also participate by joining their Take Back The Tech blogathon. [via black looks]
