On the need to generate more questions than pleasant answers
“Human activity is rife with contradictions. The very same human being who creates art, who imagines futures, who develops technologies, is the one who uses them for their own destruction.”

I wrote about securing the future for women and girls online for GenderIT, focusing on online violence. While #OGBV may originate online as harmless fun or banter, it frequently culminates offline, inflicting devastating consequences upon the victims & their families.

Original illustration by Ellena Ekarahendy depicting a female looking at a laptop and wearing headphones, immerse in a colorful landscape filled with flowers, animals, plants and abstract objects resembling technological gadgets. Text reads: Grounded in lived realities and backed by evidence, these articles have provided a very practical demonstration of the ongoing violations, while pointing the way towards curbing them. A call for accountability runs through them all. Their content serves as a reminder that, while we seek to free our capacity to think and imagine futures from the constraints imposed by the dominant narrative in the field of AI, we must address very real problems and profound injustices that are already taking place. It’s not a case of either/or; both things need to happen at the same time.

New laptop sticker.
The image features a rectangular sticker with a yellow background, placed on a black surface. The sticker prominently displays the text "GENDERIT WRITERS CLUB" in bold, black letters at the top. Below the text, there is a graphic illustration of a stylized tie, filled with various colorful shapes and patterns, including abstract forms and a megaphone. The tie graphic is set against a dark background, with a network of lines and dots extending from the right side, adding a dynamic element to the design. The overall composition is simple yet visually engaging, with a strong contrast between the yellow background and the black surface.
