Feminist Internet Research Network
People / organizations involved:
Association for Progressive Communications (APC)
The Feminist Internet Research Network (FIRN) focuses on the making of a feminist internet, seeing this as critical to bringing about transformation in gendered structures of power that exist on- and offline. Members of the network undertake data-driven research that provides substantial evidence to drive change in policy and law, and in the discourse around internet rights. The network’s broader objective is to ensure that the needs of women, gender-diverse and queer people are taken into account in internet policy discussions and decision making. FIRN is a collaborative and multidisciplinary research project led by the Association for Progressive Communications (APC), funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC).
