Since its inception in 2014, FIFAfrica has been the heartbeat of internet freedom advocacy across Africa. A space where activists, technologists, journalists, policymakers, and communities come together to shape the future of the open internet on the continent.
What started as a conversation has grown into a movement.
#FIFAfrica26 will convene more than 500 participants from more than 60 countries in Mauritius from September 28 to October 1, 2026.
This promises to be the most powerful edition yet.
Please note the deadlines for call for proposals and travel support.

Today marks Day 1 of the Public Dialogues in Pallisa aimed at intensifying awareness on Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and its growing linkages to climate change.
Creating safe spaces for open conversations allows community members, leaders and stakeholders to collectively reflect.

When girls are connected, they can safely report abuse, can access information about their rights, can reach support networks and services and eventually reclaim their power.#EmpowermentThroughAndInnovation

Safe communities start with Us!
Ending gender-based violence begins long before harm occurs
It begins with respect;
👉in our words🗣️
👉our attitudes
👉and our actions
Respect is the seed from which safety grows, without it, violence finds space to thrive.

Digital rights are human rights. Are yours protected?
Across Africa, millions are coming online, but with every click, swipe, and scroll, digital consumers face growing risks:
⚠️ Exploitative terms of service
⚠️ Unregulated data harvesting
⚠️ Platforms designed without our realities in mind
Who protects the African digital consumer? What rights do we truly have and how do we claim them?
Join us for the next Safe Space Africa Webinar on Digital Consumer Protection for Africans. It's a critical conversation exploring the policies, platforms, and power structures shaping how Africans experience the internet and who gets left behind.
You’ll hear from expert continental voices across tech, law, activism, and digital rights who are working to shift the narrative and push for accountability. Together, we'll unpack:
✅How digital products exploit users across the continent
✅The gendered and racial dimensions of digital harm
✅What meaningful consumer protection should look like in African contexts
Date: Tuesday, August 26th, 2025
Time: 11:00AM WAT | 12:00PM CAT | 1:00PM EAT

Clear guidelines should be created to ensure women share their opinions in a safe and respectful environment and implementation of reporting mechanisms in case of online harassment #HerRighToKnow @commonwealthorg

The limited access and understanding to the existing legal frameworks shrink the freedom of expression and information due to fear of the unknown. #HerRightsToKnow @commonwealthorg @wougnet

Access to Justice, Legal frameworks can perpetuate gender-based violence and limit women's access to justice. Laws that fail to address domestic violence, sexual harassment, and other forms of gender-based violence can exacerbate the problem. #HerRightToKnow @commonwealthorg

Disparities in access to technology and the internet can disproportionately affect women, esp in rural regions. Ltd access to digital tools hampers their ability to engage with information, participate in political processes, and express their views online. #HerRightToKnow
Peninah Susan Igaga retweeted
Restrictive Laws, Laws such as the Computer Misuse Act and the Regulation of Interception of Communications Act can be used to restrict freedom of expression and access to information, particularly for women and marginalized groups. #HerRightToKnow @commonwealthorg
