About Body & Data
Body & Data is focused on creating a free, open and just Internet that respects autonomy of individuals and upholds their dignity. Our aim is to increase participation and visibility of women and queer people online by supporting adoption of suitable technologies in campaigns and expression and to support women and queer people to exercise their agency and autonomy while participating in the internet through secure digital strategies.
- Despite development in digital technology women and queer people still have limited access to these tools
