SUMMARY:Digital Public Infrastructure: A Tool for Gender Equality?
DESCRIPTION:As more public services and information sources move online\, women and girls\, in all of their diversity\, continue to face barriers to access to digital public infrastructure and repositories of knowledge and memory. This amplifies existing inequities by hindering their meaningful participation in public life and contributes to their further marginalization.  \n\n\n\nDigital commons\, such as Wikimedia projects\, are essential to provide wide access to accurate information\, which in turn is fundamental for both human rights\, including access to information (a component of the right to freedom of opinion and expression)\, as well as sustainable development by reaching the Sustainable Development Goals that support digital public goods that can be used by all.  \n\n\n\nThis event aims to discuss the critical need for a robust digital public infrastructure that supports and safeguards global public goods for everyone in order to fulfill the promise of the internet. Such an information ecosystem requires not only investment in technical infrastructure to ensure easy and equitable access to public information\, but also support for fields that produce and organize knowledge like journalism and academia. This support extends to legal structures and open and free licensing of many different types of information. \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\n\nDr. Manavpreet Kaur\, Co-Founder\, Punjabi Wikimedians \n\n\n\nMarianne Diaz Hernandez\, #WhyID Campaigner at Access Now \n\n\n\nKat Townsend\, Expert Advisor\, World Wide Web Foundation \n\n\n\nSandra Aceng\, Executive Director\, Women of Uganda Network\n\n\n\n\nModerator: Costanza Sciubba Caniglia\, Anti-Disinformation Strategy Lead at Wikimedia Foundation \n\n\n\n\n\nWatch the event discussion \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHosted by:

SUMMARY:Lanzamiento del Manual del Pequeñx Vigiladx
DESCRIPTION:Los sistemas de vigilancia masiva con capacidades de recolección remota de datos biométricos\, pueden capturarlos en el subte o metro\, estaciones de bus\, calles públicas  muchos otros lugares. Para que funcionen\, tienen que estar nutridos de una o varias bases de otros datos biométricos. Estos sistemas son propensos a cometer errores de identificación\, sobre todo en personas de tez oscura\, mujeres y personas adultas mayores.  \n\n\n\nCuando las autoridades detienen a una persona porque uno de estos sistemas la confundió con un individuo que tiene récord criminal en la base de datos biométricos que poseen\, se desencadenan una serie de eventos que ponen en riesgo su integridad. Estos casos se conocen como falsos positivos.  \n\n\n\nEn este evento presentaremos el Manual del Pequeñx Vigiladx\, una herramienta diseñada para ofrecer recomendaciones específicas para América Latina\, con el objetivo de ayudar a las personas afectadas por falsos positivos y a sus seres queridos a navegar por el complejo sistema judicial en caso de enfrentar esta situación.  \n\n\n\n¡No te pierdas el lanzamiento! Nos acompañan: \n\n\n\n\nAngela Alarcón\, Campaigner\, Latin America & the Caribbean\n\n\n\nMaría del Carmen Verdú\, referente de CORREPI\n\n\n\nPatricia Díaz Charquero\, Coordinadora de Datysoc\n\n\n\n\nModera: Yamlek Mojica\, Communications and Engagement Officer for Latin America & the Caribbean \n\n\n\n\n\nSi te lo perdiste\, acá lo puedes ver\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHosted by:
