Folks,

in responce to the questions raised....
1.First is to make women be aware of their stake in the policy making of internet governance and cyber crime related issues( It can be done in the format of XYZ which in the kiss TV and give it a prime time capture)

2.This should be initiated with tespok and our policy making parliament through ministry of information and communication and now with ISOC kenya chapter in place it should push for right policies which protect all players and users in the media.

3.The most important factor is to put a level playing ground for all ISPs and mobilise the support to put a policy which protect privacy and cybercrime activities in a more transparent way to all players.

4.Encouraging lists sharing and online meetings and ISOC kenya chapter can be the best platform for the initiations to media boost up and contributions of all stake holders.

This is my contributions

Thanks

Daniel Omondi

Listers,

While cyber space has provided secure tools and spaces where women can
enjoy their freedom of expression and privacy of communication, the
same benefits of anonymity and privacy also extend to those who use
them for criminal activities, and use the internet to commit violence
against women (http://www.kictanet.or.ke/?page_id=57).

The use of cell phones, social networking and micro-blogging sites
remain great tools to stay connected. But they are also easy to
misuse. For example women have been intimidated, humiliated or even
stalked using these tools.


Questions

1.    How can we strengthen participation of women in areas of
internet governance, telecommunications, and cyber crime policy
regulation?

2.    Do ISPs and Mobile companies have policies on online/virtual
violence against women?

3.    What actions  can be taken to encourage service providers,
companies etc to develop
corporate user policies and practices in relation to user rights to
freedom of expression and privacy, transparency

4.    In what ways can various stakeholders contribute to remedies,
from a technical/social perspective?

The floor is open..
