IT for Change and InternetLab

At this year’s RightsCon summit, we hosted a community lab discussing how judicial systems can ensure access to justice for LGBTQIA+ persons in cases of online gender-based violence in the Global South. The lab explored models and strategies to mitigate violence and identify challenges faced by the LGBTQIA+ community across various legal systems and jurisdictions, in the context of gender and sexual violence and hate. The Lab intended to discuss diverse experiences and opinions from marginalized groups. 

We co-hosted the lab along with InternetLab on 7 June 2022 from 14:45-15:45 IST.
