Our main site: APC.org
APC.org is multilingual, with content available in three languages:
English, Spanish and French. Because our members are spread all over the world and speak more than 20 different languages, we also sometimes publish content in a diversity of other languages.
Use APC.org to find everything you need to know, from our mission and staff to an interactive map with all our members, news, blog posts, and a list of publications to download.
Some sections in APC.org that you will find of particular interest:
APC Talk
Check out all the blog posts and columns on “APC Talk”, a space where APC's staff, members and readers can open up conversations on topics that are of interest for the ICT community.
Would you like to blog for APC, or even have your own column with us? Let us know at communications@apc.org
Publications
The publications section in APC.org is an active and comprehensive repository of the research reports, policy briefs, issue papers, presentations, statements, submissions, infographics, toolkits, guides, and other relevant publications produced by APC and our members and partners. Some are made available in hard copy and online, others only online.
And please let us know if you have publications you have produced that we can add to this section!
Our Annual Report
The activities captured in this new digital platform reflect the energy, diversity and growth of the APC network annually. New members continue to add to the richness of the APC community and the breadth of our reach, which we will showcase yearly on our Annual Report platform. At the end of every year, we will be requesting your feedback to add to the Members and Impact sections of the report.
Sites that APC manages
On a feminist internet
GenderIT.org
GenderIT.org is a project of the APC Women's Rights Programme. This site is meant to be a think tank OF and FOR women's rights, sexual rights and internet rights activists, academics, journalists and advocates from a range of disciplines and contexts.
Take Back the Tech!
Take Back the Tech! is a collaborative campaign project that highlights the problem of technology-related violence against women, together with research and solutions from different parts of the world. Our biggest annual campaign takes place during the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence (25 November to 10 December). Many APC members and partners take part in this campaign.
Feminist Principles of the Internet
A feminist internet works towards empowering more women and queer persons – in all our diversities – to fully enjoy our rights, engage in pleasure and play, and dismantle patriarchy. This integrates our different realities, contexts and specificities – including age, disabilities, sexualities, gender identities and expressions, socioeconomic locations, political and religious beliefs, ethnic origins, and racial markers.
://EROTICS
EROTICS is a network of activists and researchers working at the intersections of sexuality and the internet. It is an exploratory research project, which aims to narrow the gap between political assumptions and a better understanding of content and “harm” based on women’s real experience of sexuality online.
APC digital stories
The APC Women’s Rights Programme has facilitated digital storytelling workshops since 2007. On this platform we share, with permission, a few of the digital stories produced by participants at various workshops we have facilitated over the years. Do you have a story to share? This is a good place to do it.
On rights
Global Information Society Watch
GISWatch is a space for collaborative monitoring of implementation of international and national commitments towards the creation of an inclusive information society. Many APC members are part of this large research and advocacy collaborative project. See how you can get involved and help make governments and international organisations accountable for meeting the commitments they make.
Engage with African internet rights
The African Declaration on Internet Rights and Freedoms is a key tool to promote internet rights in the region. This interactive platform available in Arabic, English, French and Portuguese aims to give rights advocates a space to engage with the African Declaration by sharing resources and to give greater visibility to internet rights in Africa.
