Just like in #Nigeria, Grace Naiserian, programme officer at @MzalendoWatch #Kenya, says citizens are becoming increasingly careless with their personal data, but she argues they are not entirely to blame because many state and many private entities demand excessive personal information before offering services, leaving people with little or no choice.

From #Tunisia, Benzid Haythem, media communication manager at @Oxfam, urged stronger regional collaboration among civil society groups and human rights defenders, stressing that data protection and cybersecurity challenges are shared across the continent, and so must be the solutions

@DefendersKE @KiambuCountyGov @BungeMashinani @EdwardKakumu @GWamere @crawntrustkenya Technology Facilitated Gender Based Violence targets women, girls, and gender non conforming individuals and represents a continuum of multiple, recurring, and interrelated forms of gender based violence that occur both online and offline. - Grace Naiserian #TFGBV
