APC WNSP’s Gender Evaluation Metholodology (GEM) was first elaborated in 2001 and has been applied throughout Latin America in a myriad of rural and urban settings where ICTs have been used in diverse and creative ways – but what has this meant for the women and girls such projects aim to support? GEM can help you determine whether your project or initiative is really improving the lives of women and promoting positive change in the community you are working in.

Take Back the Tech! started in November 2006 with a small but important idea: the increasing availability and reliance on new information technologies was transforming them into a political space, urgently in need of a feminist lens for engagement, understanding and envisioning. Women's contributions to the historical development of internet technologies were getting lost and forgotten, the reality of violence faced by women and girls all over the world was already seeping into online spaces and was not being given the attention needed.

On 25 November 2011, Take Back The Tech! campaign has launched an interactive map based that allows internet users to share their stories, local news and personal experiences of gender-based violence they faced online or through the use of mobile phone technologies. As of 7 December, it has recorded 103 stories from across the globe, with the majority of stories coming from Africa, Latin America and Asia. Sonia Randhawa is drawning on the data collected through the mapping platform and looking at some trends these data reveal to us about the technology-related violence against women.
