The definition of #OGBV includes all #ict-related abuse and violence, against women in all their diversity, including trans and gender non-conforming people. But if we get lost in definitions we will never get to addressing the harms. - Erika Smith, @APC_News.

Along with definitions we need to discuss the ways we source the data, the ways it is collected and the biases that are in it. We need to start there, before we even start using the data and establishing definitions with #OGBV. - Paula Martins @APC_News.

“When we talk about data, and the definitions of gender-based violence that we are using as the basis for the data, we also need to talk about audiences. Who is this data for?” - @georgiamoon, @sprblm_ #ogbv #csw67.

We need to address broader accessibility issues so that everyone can be included in the solution and the full extent of the problem can be assessed because everyone can participate in the discussions - Aidah Bukubuza, .AYDIA Gender and Technology Initiative #OGBV #csw67.

We need to have a global understanding but also a contextual understanding. Policies and broad principles have to be evaluated according to particular contexts. -Paloma Castro, @derechosdigital #ogbv #csw67.

“Tech companies and governments are comfortable with fragmenting the space… there is no independent, civil society-led gender justice entity. The Women’s Rights Online Network is a response to this” -@DiploKat #OGBV #CSW67.

“How can you come up with policies [to counter #OGBV] when you don’t have data?” - @li_saga, @FMA_PH #csw67.

The Women’s Rights Online Network ( brings gender rights activists and civil society groups from across the world to share learning, data and experiences. #ogbv #CSW67.

The Tech Policy Design Lab was used to create potential solutions to counter online gender-based violence and make proposals to tech companies, who committed to change. But these companies would not share the data to show the impact of these changes a year later. #ogbv #CSW67.

Our event is starting. Policy director @DiploKat is describing the some of the background of our involvement with gender equality as it relates to the web. “We see gender inequality as an existential problem for the web”. #ogbv #CSW67.

Starting soon:.
