Guiding ideas for the End violence project communications plan
In terms of the End violence: Women's rights and safety online project communications plan, the project team set a vision: APC and WRP
as leaders in the tech-related VAW area by 2017.
The objectives of the communications plan were determined as follows:
1. Build the visibility and reach of the entire project in a consistent way through the production and dissemination of content and media
outreach.
•
Raise awareness about technology-related violence against women (VAW) as an issue for women’s rights and internet rights
activists.
•
Support project advocacy objectives in a timely, consistent and provable way, through the production and dissemination of strategic
content and media outreach.
The audiences for influence and messaging were disaggregated as follows:
•
Individual women and girls who have experienced tech-related VAW and those interested in this area who want to take practical
action
•
Women's human rights organisations and leaders (women’s and girls’ rights groups, women who are leaders in internet rights and
human rights, and APC member organisations, especially those working on VAW who we want to take up these issues)
•
Policy makers
•
Private sector (corporations, technology groups for implementation of crowd mapping for social change).
General audiences:
•
Internet users
•
Journalists and media.

What changed in our communications developments from 2013 to 2014?
▪ Social media
Greater investment was made in engaging partners, internet intermediaries, media and policy makers via Twitter, through the
#imagineafeministinternet campaign and the July Take Back the Tech! campaign #whatareyoudoingaboutvaw. For the latter, users were
invited to tweet using #WhatAreYouDoingAboutVAW in English, and #mujeryviolenciaqhacestu in Spanish. They were also invited to follow
@takebackthetech and @dominemoslastic for the continuing conversation. A set of tweets and Facebook posts in English and Spanish were
created and suggested for APC staff and partners to disseminate consistently and strategically on social media. A list of strategic
constituencies and companies with their Twitter handles was created so that tweets would be directed at them.
▪ Mailing lists
Greater investment was made in involving project partners through mailing lists and social media, and commissioning articles on their
activities.
▪ Visuals and multimedia content
Major efforts were made to provide visually attractive content and more multimedia content (video, audio, Storify stories). These achieved
interesting results in terms of the level of circulation.
▪ Media reach and engagement
2014 was an outstanding year in terms of media reach. The Take Back the Tech! campaign on internet intermediaries was exceptionally
successful in terms of media coverage in quantity, diversity and the level of the mainstream media reached. Below are the hits considered
significant because of the publication's mainstream prominence.

End violence project significant activities and corresponding content production
Spaces for publication
•
GenderIT.org is one of the main platforms for dissemination of End violence project-related communications efforts.
•
APC.org further disseminates any articles developed under the End violence project, via its newsletter in English, Spanish and
French, as well as through publication on the APC website. Project activities and news were distributed and highlighted on various
APC websites, including APC.org, rights.apc.org, takebackthetech.net and GenderIT.org, depending on their relevance. During 2014
we also introduced the Most Significant Change stories, which were exclusively published on APC.org.
a) Commission on the Status of Women 58 – March 2014
The APC Women’s Rights Programme attended the fifty-eighth session of the Commission on the Status of Women, which took place at the
United Nations Headquarters in New York on 10-21 March 2014. Last year’s priority was “Challenges and achievements in the
implementation of the Millennium Development Goals for women and girls” and the review theme was “Access and participation of women
and girls to education, training, science and technology, including for the promotion of women’s equal access to full employment and decent
work, from the 54th session of the CSW.” Here are the articles and blog posts developed to support and disseminate this activity:

GenderIT.org edition: Back and forth in the advancement of women's rights at CSW58
On 15 April 2014, after the 58th meeting of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), GenderIT.org circulated the bilingual edition
“Back and forth in the advancement of women's rights at CSW58” (in Spanish/Portuguese: “Avances y retrocesos en el progreso de los
derechos de las mujeres en CSW 58”) which reflected on some of the issues that were advocated for during the meeting by the Women’s
Rights Programme, as well as materials produced as part of the event coverage, and those materials that the “End violence” project
agenda addressed as main concerns in relation to the event.
The edition was distributed via the GenderIT.org bilingual (English and Spanish/Portuguese) newsletter to over 600 subscribers, and via
both GenderIT.org Twitter accounts to more than 2840 followers. Further distribution took place via other APC and partners' mailing lists
and social networks to over 1400 women's and human rights defenders/activists, CSW participants, CSO members, journalists and
content providers, as well as policy makers and strategic partners for the event.
Between March, April and May 2014 (the month when the CSW meeting took place with GenderIT.org coverage, plus the month when the
edition was sent, until a month after) a total of 27,143 different visitors accessed the website, and the GenderIT.org website received a
total of 53,275 visits.
b) Imagine a Feminist Internet – May 2014
APC held a Global Meeting on Gender, Sexuality and the Internet in Malaysia between 12 and 17 April, to explore and develop the collective
understanding of what a feminist internet looks like. One of the goals of the meeting was to find, within a sex-positive queer framework, an
agreement on core feminist principles for a transformative internet, in order to develop a set of evolving Feminist Principles of the Internet.

GenderIT.org edition: Gender, sexuality and the internet
In April 2014, Malaysia was the backdrop for academics, feminist and queer activists, and internet rights and policy specialists from
diverse organisations and networks coming from many different countries to reflect on and analyse contentious issues of gender,
sexuality and the internet. Most of the material featured in this edition drew on those debates and took them further. We proudly
introduced the evolving Feminist Principles of the Internet drafted with the participation of many activists, and the first research outputs
from the “End violence: Women’s rights and safety online” project were highlighted in the resources section.
The edition was distributed via the GenderIT.org bilingual (English and Spanish/Portuguese) newsletter to over 600 subscribers, and via
both GenderIT.org Twitter accounts to more than 2840 followers. Further distribution took place through other APC and partners' mailing
lists and social networks to over 1400 women's and human rights defenders/activists, CSW participants, CSO members, journalists and
content providers, as well as policy makers and strategic partners for the event. Between 1 September 2014 – when the edition was sent
out – until a month after, a total of 15,656 different visitors accessed the GenderIT.org website, which received a total of 45,787 visits.
c) Feminist Principles of the Internet
Over three days, the participants in the Imagine a Feminist Internet meeting debated around the intersections of gender, sexuality and the
internet – not only as a tool, but as a new public space. In thinking through these issues, the participants at the meeting developed a set of
15 feminist principles of the internet. These are designed to be an evolving document that informs our work on gender and technology, as
well as to influence our policy-making discussions when it comes to internet governance. Here are the articles and blog posts developed to
support and disseminate this activity:
Feminist Principles of the Internet (3520 reads in English and 875 in Spanish on APC.org, 7123 reads in English and 331 reads in Spanish

e) CEDAW Committee and the General recommendation on girls’/women’s right to education – July 2014
On 7 July 2014, the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) held a General Discussion on the Right to
Education for Girls and Women, the aim of which was to commence the Committee’s process of elaborating a “General Recommendation on
girls’/women’s right to education.” Here are the articles and blog posts developed to support and disseminate this activity:

GenderIT.org edition: 9th IGF: Feminist talks scale over the walls of internet governance
After the Internet Governance Forum which took place in September 2014, on 29 September GenderIT.org circulated the edition “9th IGF:
Feminist talks scale over the walls of internet governance” which reflected on some of the issues that were advocated for during the
meeting by the Women’s Rights Programme. This edition of GenderIT.org offered reflections from feminist and queer activists who
participated in the Internet Governance Forum held on 2-5 September 2014 in Istanbul, Turkey. The feminist talks on internet governance
included in the edition helped scale over the still relatively thick walls that tend to divide gender issues and internet governance as
separate arenas.
The edition was distributed via the GenderIT.org newsletter to over 345 subscribers in English, and via both GenderIT.org Twitter accounts
(English and Spanish) to more than 2800 followers. Further distribution took place via APC and partners' mailing lists and social networks
to over 1400 women's and human rights defenders/activists, the EROTICS and End violence projects' mailing lists, IGF participants and
specific IGF-related mailing lists, CSO members, journalists and content providers, as well as policy makers. Between September and
October 2014 (the month when the IGF meeting took place with GenderIT.org coverage and the edition was sent out, until a month after)
a total of 28,039 different visitors accessed the website, and the GenderIT.org website received a total of 78,912 visits.

i) Take Back the Tech! campaign – November/December 2014
2014's campaign invited users to reframe the conversation about violence against women as a violation of our fundamental human right to
freedom of expression. Also in 2014, APC’s Take Back the Tech! campaign was globally acclaimed for its “efforts to reduce threats online
and build women’s confidence and security in the use of ICTs,” winning first place under category 6 in the first edition of the Gender
Equality Mainstreaming – Technology (GEM-Tech) Awards, from over 360 nominations and 37 finalists from more than 70 countries. GEMTech is an annual special ITU-UN Women joint achievement award for outstanding performers and role models in gender equality and
mainstreaming in the area of ICTs. Here are the articles and blog posts developed to support and disseminate this activity:

j) Supporting Women Human Rights Defenders
GenderIT.org published materials reaffirming that the same rights that people have offline must also be protected online, and highlighting
that online harassment against women human rights defenders is an aggressive violation of their rights to freedom of expression and
association, among others. Here are the articles and blog posts developed to support and disseminate this activity:

k) Messaging tech-related violence against women
A series of articles and blog posts were published on GenderIT.org and APC.org in the last year to address issues directly related to techbased violence against women or exploring the intersections of this topic with others, such as sexuality and sexual rights. The intention was
to bring context to enable a deeper analysis of technology-based VAW and all its implications. Here are the articles and blog posts

weekly collection of the most outstanding articles and resources that circulated on the web around
feminism, technology-based violence, and women, internet and sexual rights movements. This section
and its presence have definitely increased the visibility of the issues and provided contextual
information in a consistent and regular manner. “Exploring the depths of the web to provide you once
a week with a Top 5 of creative, interesting and informative pieces and resources on gender and ICTs.
Delight yourself with this selection of 'sparks': Good readings, interesting links, videos, pictures, cool
authors to point to, amazing tools, and much more.”

Case studies
The case study summaries are based on in-depth case studies mapping women’s experiences of technology-related VAW and their attempts
to access justice either through domestic legal remedies or corporate grievance mechanisms. The original case studies from Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Mexico, Pakistan and the Philippines were documented by country
researchers from the project partners between November 2013 and April 2014. GenderIT.org published the summaries of the case studies,
and the full case studies grouped by country, as well as one page only containing all the links to the case studies.

m) Local stories: Project partners' work
Many reports, articles and resources produced by project partners were featured on the GenderIT.org website primarily, and in projectrelated GenderIT.org editions, as well as on APC.org and in APCNews newsletters. Some of these materials were event-related and others
were produced to feature specific issues related to the project area of work. Here are the articles and blog posts developed to support and
disseminate this activity:

Content dissemination reach in figures
38
Visits to GenderIT.org
It is important to notice that the months registering a remarkably higher number of visits to the website correspond to End violence project
activities.
In May, Imagine a Feminist Internet, a gathering of internet and sexual rights activists from different countries, took place in Port Dickson,
Malaysia. Many articles were produced during that period as a result of the meeting, which can explain the high number of visits during May
and June. In May we also ran the #imagineafeministinternet Twitter campaign, where we invited users to imagine what a feminist internet
would look like to them. This campaign also linked to many materials on the website, which adds to the explanation on the spike in visits.
39
In July, a special chapter of the Take Back the Tech! campaign was developed,
targeting internet intermediaries and their lack of actions to stop violence
against women online. We ran a Twitter campaign asking
#whatareyoudoingaboutvaw, calling on users to use our research results to
request accountability from internet intermediaries on the issue of VAW. This
campaign drew strongly on the End violence research, and constantly pointed to
it, which can explain the high number of unique visitors and visits during July,
but also in June (with the calls and preparations for the campaign) and August.
The Internet Governance Forum (IGF) took place (exceptionally) in September, and
GenderIT.org was an active platform for dissemination, providing coverage and a post-IGF
thematic edition touching on technology-based violence against women and sexual rights,
which can explain the high number of visits that month. It is important to notice the
especially high number of unique visitors (the highest during 2014), meaning that many
visitors came back to the website more than once.

Press
All media hits were recorded and are reported here by region. Note the relatively important global coverage of the news in Europe (27 out
of 108 hits). Also notable is the lack of coverage in Africa: the only coverage tracked in this region was an item from South Africa. In terms
of observable links between region and country, it is important to stress that the region of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) shows a
higher diversity of countries featuring related news (eight countries out of 23), against regions with more weight quantitatively such as
North America (2 countries out of 23). In relation to news format, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Pakistan had outstanding coverage in
broadcasting media.

Even though there is a high diversity in the countries featuring related news (24), Bosnia and Herzegovina, the United States, Pakistan, 1
Argentina and Brazil, in order of relevance, were the countries with the most news items published.
1 In Pakistan, the outreach of the media coverage can safely be guesstimated at hundreds of millions, because all of the TV channels mentioned have not only national
coverage in Pakistan, a country of nearly 200 million, but the Geo and Express News channels are also watched widely by the Pakistani diaspora in its tens of millions in the
Middle East, Southeast Asia, North America and Europe. Voice of America, Urdu Service and FM 99 have listenerships in the tens of millions as well. Similarly, the readership
of all the international and national newspapers that carried stories on our research findings can safely be assumed to total a very large number.
57
Regional diversity
Outstanding regions include North America (25 hits), LAC (21), Asia-Pacific (17) and Europe (16). Although the figures indicate a high
number of news items in LAC, it is important to make a distinction here between republished content and original content. While North
America has a similar number of items to LAC, this changes if we consider which of those media outlets featured more original content,
which is the case of the US, while in Argentina (the country in LAC with the most news items) the hits relate almost exclusively to one
original item featured on Agencia Télam which was later picked up by other national and regional media.

Reflections
The Take Back the Tech! campaign on internet intermediaries was exceptionally successful in terms of media coverage in quantity, diversity,
and the level of the mainstream media reached.
We consider that a debriefing on the lessons learned through this experience will be quite helpful for upcoming advocacy campaigns.
Good timing and seizing the moment
The second press release was sent out right after the Internet Governance Forum in Turkey, and even included several paragraphs that
referred to the event and how it related to the research and campaign. We attribute the positive reception of our communications outputs
to a noticeable general increase in the awareness of tech-related VAW matters, the wider wave of interest in social media and violence
against women issues triggered by the leaking of pictures of female celebrities, and cases of harassment and threats perpetrated through
Twitter as in the case of Robin Williams' daughter, among others.
Persistent presence in social media
The social media strategy used during the campaign gave continuity and visibility to the campaign throughout a period of almost three
months.
Catchy press releases
It is obvious that many of the news articles drew on the title of the second press release, which was specially geared to capturing the
interest of the media, since it was clear, catchy and forceful. The article in the Washington Post that triggered the attention of the other
media afterwards was the result of a journalist contacting us after receiving the press release.
60
Facts and figures
Sending out a first press release when the campaign started sparked initial interest. Sending out a second press release when we had
figures and more substantial data gave the journalists a solid foundation to build up the news. The campaign was based on a rating system,
which allowed the information to draw on figures in a straightforward manner that attracted the media.
Clear objectives
Big media outlets struggle to digest the information received, and even more so when it is debate-oriented as opposed to fact-oriented. In
the case of the TBTT campaign and the research results, we were clear on what we wanted to get from internet intermediaries, why we
were asking them to address VAW as an important issue, and what we wanted from users and the ways they could cooperate.
Attractive visuals
A set of attractive visuals was developed exclusively for the campaign, drawing on the general TBTT visual identity. It is interesting to note
how many of the articles used the TBTT campaign visuals for their own publications.
Snowball effect
If we pay attention to the dates when the mainstream media channels featured the news, it is possible to reduce the timeframe to a threeday period, which demonstrates two things. First, they are looking at each other's content (in some cases they belong to the same media
group and worked on collaborative articles), generating a kind of “snowball effect”: a big media outlet features the news, so then it
becomes newsworthy for many others. Second, local mainstream media such as O Globo from Brazil or Slate.fr from France turned the
global news into a more context-adapted news piece, but again we can see the influence of the global mainstream media in the timely
attention given to the subject.
