The chilling effect of malware as a surveillance tool threatens our freedom of expression. When digital privacy is compromised, individuals self-censor out of fear, stifling critical voices. Protecting our digital rights is essential to safeguarding free speech in the digital age

ICE + Paragon = a dangerous match!

The US gov’t has reactivated its deal with Paragon Solutions, whose Graphite spyware has been linked to human rights abuses worldwide. We fear ICE may now use it against US communities.

Windows 10 reached its end of support on October 14, 2025. This means no more security updates, leaving your devices, communications, and sensitive data vulnerable to cyber attacks. Upgrade to a supported OS to stay protected.

Regularly updating your software is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to protect against ransomware, malware, and data breaches. Delaying patches may seem convenient, but it increases your exposure to cyber threats. Stay proactive, make patch management a priority.

Reports of govt plotting online surveillance ahead of the 2026 general elections raise serious concerns. Such tactics threaten privacy, silence dissent & shrink civic space. Democracy demands transparency, not spying. #StopSurveillance #UgandaDecides2026

As we begin April, our Director of Programs and Administration, @MemoryBandera , reflects on our recently concluded month-long #SheDefends campaign, where we amplified the voices and work of Women Human Rights Defenders(WHRDs) across various thematic areas. While the campaign has ended, the fight for gender equality continues throughout the year. Now is the time to move beyond words and take deliberate, urgent actions—strengthening protection, dismantling systemic barriers, and creating an environment where WHRDs can operate safely and effectively.
