"Street lights make streets safer. We need to look at that level of infrastructure and policy guidelines to ensure a safer internet for women and minorities online", concludes @anjakovacs of @iNetDemocracy. It's always so insightful to listen to her speak.
"It's no surprise to anyone that the richest people in tech are men. We lack the perspective of women on how to run gender specific needs that aren't addressed by tech platforms. Technology is used to sexualise, terrorise, subjugate women." - Angelica Pago from Manila.
