We’re excited to welcome your participation in RightsCon Toronto on May 16-18, whether in person or online!

To facilitate important conversations about stopping harassment, abuse, and violence, we are holding three sessions at RightsCon Toronto featuring experts in this area.

Before and during RightsCon 2017, our policies and practices failed an abuse and harassment survivor on a range of fronts. We want to publicly convey our sincere apologies.

Access Now, working in partnership with RIWI, a Toronto-based technology firm, has released the initial results of the Global Internet Sentiment Survey.

As part of our partnership with Betterplace, we are offering this year’s RightsCon participants an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the Toronto community where we have gathered.

Every year, Access Now celebrates the heroes of human rights in the digital age, and we’re looking for nominations! We need your help to find the people and groups who are working to defend our rights.

Through our survey with RIWI, we aim to help the RightsCon community better understand public sentiment toward issues that are central to our work on human rights in the digital age.

With so many amazing sessions to choose from, we wanted to take a moment to recognize the contribution that Access Now grantees are making to the program and to the RightsCon community.
