Since its inception in 2014, FIFAfrica has been the heartbeat of internet freedom advocacy across Africa. A space where activists, technologists, journalists, policymakers, and communities come together to shape the future of the open internet on the continent.
What started as a conversation has grown into a movement.
#FIFAfrica26 will convene more than 500 participants from more than 60 countries in Mauritius from September 28 to October 1, 2026.
This promises to be the most powerful edition yet.
Please note the deadlines for call for proposals and travel support.

Humbled to have offered a service to Uganda, Africa and beyond!!🌍

There is strength in collective voices.

@igagapy, @CEDOVIPuganda, reflected on the practical implications of implementing the @_AfricanUnion Convention on Ending Violence Against Women and Girls (AU-CEVAWG), particularly for Member States navigating resource and institutional constraints.

She highlighted the importance of aligning continental ambition with national capacity, recognising that financing demands, reporting standards, and prosecution obligations under the Convention must be supported by realistic implementation pathways within the African Union system.

Today marks Day 1 of the Public Dialogues in Pallisa aimed at intensifying awareness on Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and its growing linkages to climate change.

Creating safe spaces for open conversations allows community members, leaders and stakeholders to collectively reflect.

[Peninah Susan Igaga @igagapy]

@WomenProbono The concern is not that Uganda should not protect its sovereignty. Every nation should. However in an attempt to regulate external influence, we risk weakening the very support systems that many vulnerable women depend on to navigate violence, poverty and discrimination.

When girls are connected, they can safely report abuse, can access information about their rights, can reach support networks and services and eventually reclaim their power.#EmpowermentThroughAndInnovation

[Peninah Susan Igaga @igagapy]

We need to look at this conversation beyond policy discussion. This is a conversation about real homes, real struggles and real people trying to hold their lives together with dignity.

Safe communities start with Us!
Ending gender-based violence begins long before harm occurs
It begins with respect;
👉in our words🗣️
👉our attitudes
👉and our actions
Respect is the seed from which safety grows, without it, violence finds space to thrive.

@UEDCLTD @SpireJim @UEDCLMD your systems are failing Ugandans. We have sent in a complaint with a reference number 1342390G but all we get is that the technicians are coming. Power has been off for the last 3 days!!! What is going on?

[Peninah Susan Igaga @igagapy]

@UEDCLTD But surely at this rate, why did we have the transition from UMEME to UEDCL. How can an area not have power for the last 3 days citing that there are no transformers in store.

Is this a joke or something? @SpireJim please help!!!

Digital rights are human rights. Are yours protected?

Across Africa, millions are coming online, but with every click, swipe, and scroll, digital consumers face growing risks:
⚠️ Exploitative terms of service
⚠️ Unregulated data harvesting
⚠️ Platforms designed without our realities in mind

Who protects the African digital consumer? What rights do we truly have and how do we claim them?

Join us for the next Safe Space Africa Webinar on Digital Consumer Protection for Africans. It's a critical conversation exploring the policies, platforms, and power structures shaping how Africans experience the internet and who gets left behind.

You’ll hear from expert continental voices across tech, law, activism, and digital rights who are working to shift the narrative and push for accountability. Together, we'll unpack:

✅How digital products exploit users across the continent
✅The gendered and racial dimensions of digital harm
✅What meaningful consumer protection should look like in African contexts

Date: Tuesday, August 26th, 2025
Time: 11:00AM WAT | 12:00PM CAT | 1:00PM EAT

@OliverBirungiAk @wougnet Something that needs to be adopted in our education systems. Use of digital platforms is inevitable.

[Buntu Esther @Eystr2]

@wougnet Clear guidelines should be created to ensure women share their opinions in a safe and respectful environment and implementation of reporting mechanisms in case of online harassment #HerRighToKnow @commonwealthorg

[Peninah Susan Igaga @igagapy]

@CarolMukisa1 @wougnet @commonwealthorg Capacity building is something that is overly underlooked and yet this ensures that women become financially independent while using these digital platforms. Well said. #HerRighttoKnow
