JASS Just Associates, in partnership with Women’sNet and the Association for Progressive Communications, has published a guide to using information and communication technologies (ICTS) for women’s rights activists and advocates in Africa. The toolkit includes strategies for online-to-offline organizing and movement building, including telling stories that break down gender norms and inspiring others to take concrete steps to make change. They profile stories of powerful online activists, such as Nana Karkoa, who uses her blog “Adventures from the Bedrooms of African Women” to combat stereotypes of African women’s passivity in the bedroom. Similarly, photographer Zanele Muholi uses digital multimedia to publish the stories of lesbian, bisexual and trans women and promote the multifaceted ways women can experience their gender and sexuality.
