The definition of #OGBV includes all #ict-related abuse and violence, against women in all their diversity, including trans and gender non-conforming people. But if we get lost in definitions we will never get to addressing the harms. - Erika Smith, @APC_News

[World Wide Web Foundation @webfoundation]

Our event is starting. Policy director @DiploKat is describing the some of the background of our involvement with gender equality as it relates to the web. “We see gender inequality as an existential problem for the web”. #ogbv #CSW67

[World Wide Web Foundation @webfoundation]

Along with definitions we need to discuss the ways we source the data, the ways it is collected and the biases that are in it. We need to start there, before we even start using the data and establishing definitions with #OGBV. - Paula Martins @APC_News

Starting soon:
