AWID will launch the 2016 Online Tribute to WHRDs as part of our contributions to the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence campaign which takes place every year from November 25 – December 10, 2016. We invite you to submit stories (biographies and photos) of feminists, WHRDs and LGBTQI activists from your country or region who are no longer with us.

Please send your contribution to membership@awid.org . Deadline for submissions is September 30, 2016.
The biographies and photos you send will be added to our online exhibit, shared with our partners, as well as highlighted through social media and email communications during the 16 Days of Activism.

AWID especially encourages submissions concerning groups routinely rendered invisible, such as young women, disabled women, sex workers, LGBTQI, and indigenous women.

This Africa Summit on Women and Girls in Technology is a collaboration between UN Women, the Alliance for Affordable Internet, the World Wide Web Foundation, the Ghana­-India Kofi Annan Center of Excellence in ICT, and the African Development Bank.

Bridging the digital gender gap is a critical step toward the vision of a thriving Africa—yet women are up to 50% less likely than men to be online. Join us to design solutions that will enable millions of African women and girls to benefit from access to technology—and use their skills to build a better Africa for all.

This summit is a critical forum focused on how technology policy can further the rights and interests of African women and girls.

We aim to connect women's rights advocates and policymakers with Internet rights advocates, broadband policy leaders, and leading and aspiring women technologists and innovators in Africa. Participants will debate solutions and contribute to ongoing policy processes in the continent on broadband Internet access, sustainable development, and women’s empowerment.

Focus areas:

- Affordable broadband
- Women's rights online
- Access to information
- Creation of relevant local content

Please register your interest to receive an invitation and learn about opportunities to showcase your own work.
