Germany has been very reluctant in recognizing tech-based gender specific violence. I've watched the policy developments for years and would like to propose a conversation that could cover
- what is tech-based gender specific violence
- some facts and figures
- exchange about the situation in different countries or regions
- what is actually happening and how is that being handled
- policy, laws and regulations
- feminist responses
I would specifically be interested to also talk the upcoming EU directive on violence against women which will introduce significant legal chances in this area and find out how this is being seen in different countries and feminist communities.

What to bring to your session? –--
I've been part of Berlin's digital rights community for 20+ years, used to work in an international NGO that focused on digital security for some years, and then as a policy advisor on the Snowden revelations and then more generally on digital policy in the German parliament for the past ten years. I'm currently freelancing.
As an activist I co-founded the German Indymedia website in 2001 and a project to increase diversity at tech and other conferences. The first /etc I participated in was the one in Linz in 2007 (I think).
