Rubaroo is an organization that works with young people in and around Telangana. We do this by facilitating conversations and experiential learning processes.
Together with @ecfindia@otf_india @DevConsIndia @TheSafecityApp@tarshingo we hosted a #ConsentInAdvocacy Tweetathon.
Please find insights from the event. We’d love to hear about your organisation’s practices & approaches share your thoughts in the comments below.

@RubarooHyd@ecfindia@otf_india @DevConsIndia @TheSafecityApp@AgentsofIshq A related change is the unresponsive redressal mechanisms that digital platforms
currently have. These mechanisms need to be both strengthened as well as simplified
to make the process of giving or taking away digital consent easier.
@RubarooHyd@ecfindia@otf_india @DevConsIndia @TheSafecityApp@AgentsofIshq Since In Plainspeak is a freely accessible digital space and the pieces that are shared are often about sensitive topics, we feel authors must have the freedom to choose if they wish to be publicly identifiable through the platform.
@RubarooHyd@ecfindia@otf_india @DevConsIndia @TheSafecityApp@AgentsofIshq When it comes to our online magazine, In Plainspeak, contributing authors have the
option to choose whether they want to publish their work anonymously, under a
pseudonym, or with their names.
@RubarooHyd@ecfindia@otf_india @DevConsIndia @TheSafecityApp@AgentsofIshq Does sharing consent to posting
pictures, for example, mean consent to receive comments from strangers on the post
as well? Or consent for others to use those pictures in articles or opinion pieces?
@RubarooHyd@ecfindia@otf_india @DevConsIndia @TheSafecityApp@AgentsofIshq When it comes to personal stories, one challenge is striking a balance between digital
advocacy and protection from harm. Organisations may have to zoom out to
understand the risks that may come from making powerful statements about personal
and sensitive information
