Session
Participants will better understand how the digital space is used to shape and propagate gender-dominant narratives, and how feminist activists and organizations in Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, and Syria are investing in that space to create a counter-narrative to mobilize for equality, inclusivity, and non-discrimination. The session is also intended to enable participants and panelists to learn about opportunities the digital space offers to gain power, resist sexism and patriarchy and mobilize for social change.
