Share Love, Not Hate!!! This Valentine's Day, commit to making online spaces safer for women and girls. #Resolution522. Almost 90% of young adults enrolled in tertiary institutions in Nairobi have suffered gender-based violence in online spaces https://t.co/2wlFnfv1iW

Honoured to join CIPESA’s High-Level Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue on Business & Digital Rights as a panelist discussing how innovators can thrive from DPI.

My message: DPI should reduce friction for innovators while increasing protection for citizens.

[BASEiOTA Foundation @baseiota]

We showcased the comic strip "Scales of Change" at #DRIF26, turning statistics into stories that hit home. Building inclusive & resilient digital futures starts with making the numbers real. The road to digital resilience is still long but we've embarked on the journey.

[BASEiOTA Foundation @baseiota]

Globally, about 85% of women have witnessed or experienced some form of online violence.
Behind every statistic is a voice silenced, a life disrupted, a right denied.
Today, we commit to Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls.
In solidarity with #InternationalWomensDay

[CIPESA @cipesaug]

We support this call by @UN_Women which takes a stand #ForAllWomenAndGirls. This International Women's Day we are making a call to all big platforms that all women and girls should #BeSafeByDesign in the online spaces enabled by platforms. No one should ever face exclusion because of their gender. This affects the very tenet of #digitaldemocracy, online #civicparticipation and #digitalinclusion in an ever changing technological landscape.

Yo Google linked devices are like giving out spare keys to your house over the years.
Old phone?🔑
Work laptop?🔑
That friend’s computer you logged into “real quick” in 2018?🔑
See which devices are linked to your account and how to remove unwanted ones

#Fastfacts: On 18 July 2025, @pdpoUG (PDPO) declared Google Inc in breach for operating without PDPO registration and for transferring Ugandans’ data abroad without demonstrating adequate safeguards.

When tech companies move data without clear protections, users bear the risk.

[HER Internet @HerInternet]

#FastFacts Let’s be honest, we’ve all received a message that felt slightly off but urgent enough to make us hesitate. Whether it’s “Send the OTP quickly” or “Confirm your account now,” emotional manipulation in digital spaces thrives on urgency or fear.

@digitalSec_Doc We all play a part in keeping the net safe for everyone in the community. Keep grinding. 🛡️

[Digital Security 🇺🇬 @digitalSec_Doc]

A safer internet isn’t built by platforms alone, it’s shaped by all of us. Governments, tech companies, parents, educators, and every digital citizen each have a role to play. Online safety is a shared responsibility. 🌐

What is a password manager?
Do you really need one?
Is using the same password everywhere actually risky?

#SaferInternetDay

[CIPESA @cipesaug]

Safer Internet Day will be commemorated on 10 Feb 2026 under the theme, “Smart tech, safe choices”.
This reminds us that while Artificial Intelligence(AI) can empower learning and connection, without safeguards it fuels disinformation, surveillance, and erosion of online freedom. Global internet freedom has declined for 15+ years, with AI-driven censorship and manipulation rising. Let’s strive for a safer, open internet for all.

Taking up digital spaces means showing up with intention. Every challenge becomes a chance to grow stronger, wiser, and more grounded in every opportunity.

Being constantly online can take a toll on your mental and emotional wellbeing, especially when digital spaces feel overwhelming.

This weekend, try a digital detox, ease off the screens, slow down, and give your mind space to rest and recharge.

#TechTuesday
Public Wi-Fi is everywhere at cafes, workplaces, schools but it’s also one of the easiest ways for your data to be exposed.

When you connect to open Wi-Fi networks, others on the same network may be able to see what you’re doing online.

[CIPESA @cipesaug]

"I will start off this masterclass with a simple but uncomfortable truth. Most data breaches don't start with a hacker. They begin with a printed report left on the desk, a patient file left unattended, an unlocked file cabinet, a phonecall that is handled without discretion and a USB drive left unattended."- Baker Birikujja, National Director, Personal Data Protection Office.
