In this article, Serene Lim takes a closer look at how questions of access to the internet relate to the struggles of indigenous people and their movement for rights. Rather than the top-down imposition of connectivity, projects for access should align with their social context and as part of their right to sustainable development and right to equal participation.

There is no opting out. Internet connectivity and information technology are now embodied in our collective shared human condition, cutting across geographical boundaries and different spheres of our lives and identities. As governments move towards e-government, whether you like it or not, you are in a digital system of some kind or other even if you do not have access to the internet.

Editatonas - are Wikipedia edit-a-thons that are exclusively for women. The reason for these events is to deal with the stark difference and lack of representation for women on Wikipedia as compared to men. This is also reflected in that only 10% of Wikipedian editors are women. Carmen Alcazar explores what editatonas do to change that.

Si internet es libre e incluyente, ¿por qué luchar?. Porque no es feminista. La decima reunión del LACIGF finalizó hace unas semanas. Las y los asistentes regresan a sus países con reflexiones y nuevas metas, pero ¿cuál fue el papel y la participación de las mujeres en esta reunión?

Iniciaba el segundo panel de la décima Reunión Preparatoria del Foro de Gobernanza de Internet en América Latina y el Caribe (LACIGF), conformado por 5 mujeres y 1 hombre, varios en redes sociales criticaron esta acción:

- “¿Cómo es posible, un panel exclusivo de mujeres?

-“ Ahora ¡critica esta acción!”, me dijeron otros.

Pero nada dijeron del panel anterior que había estado conformado por 5 hombres y 1 mujer.

Si internet es libre e incluyente, ¿por qué luchar?. Porque no es feminista.

Kerieva Mccormick looks at how young Roma women and girls deal with, understand, and talk about violence and harassment faced by Roma people, online and offline. This article examines the double consciousness experienced by those who live with the reality of exclusion and discrimination even now in contemporary societies, and the ways in which younger generations navigate hostility and celebrate themselves and their resilience.

Mentoring resilience from a Romani feminist perspective.

The work Romani feminists have endeavoured to employ in various sites around the world serves to elicit answers to the question posed by W.E. B. DuBois in The Souls of Black Folk: “How does it feel to be a problem?" (DuBois [1903]1996: 3-4). 1

Sin embargo, cada vez son más frecuentes los ataques a chicas en las redes sociales. Difusión de imágenes sensuales, promoción de videos eróticos circulan como pan caliente tanto en internet como en los dispositivos móviles. Parece ser que el ejercicio de una sexualidad libre no está concedido a las mujeres, o personas de los colectivos LGBTIQ. ¿Cómo frenar estos ataques? ¿Qué recursos tenemos para denunciar la violencia digital?
