Her Media Diary Episode 44: "Open, Free & Secure Internet for Women" with Sandra Aceng
Sandra Aceng is a human rights defender and digital rights advocate from Uganda. She is also the Executive Director of Women of Ugandan Network (WOUGNET), an organization that engages in research, policy advocacy, and capacity-building programs to ensure gender inclusivity in Uganda's digital landscape.
In this episode, Sandra discusses her personal journey into activism, the digital realities faced by women in Uganda, how AI may be perpetuating gendered harm, and what the path forward looks like for creating safer digital spaces.
As AI advances and our lives become increasingly digitised, we cannot afford to overlook gender in tech conversations. Sandra's work is a powerful call to action for governments, developers, media platforms, and all of us to centre women's experiences and safety in every aspect of the digital world.
