On October 4, 2025, JamiiAfrica participated in the 2025 National Dialogue on Technology-Facilitated Violence and Violence Against Women in Elections, hosted by WiLDAF as part of the 16 Days of Activism campaign. The dialogue aimed to raise awareness, strengthen enforcement mechanisms, and establish referral pathways for survivors of digital violence.
As political engagement increasingly moves to digital platforms, women face new forms of violence that threaten to undermine hard-won gains in political participation and leadership. Technology-facilitated violence, including online harassment, cyberstalking, disinformation, and coordinated digital attacks, has become a significant barrier to women’s full and equal participation in public and political life.
During the dialogue, JamiiAfrica contributed to a dynamic panel discussion addressing myths and disinformation about women in elections; narratives that not only shape public opinion but also determine who feels safe and heard in public spaces.
The organization emphasized the importance of respecting all individuals in digital spaces and the necessity of fact-checking information before sharing or acting on it. JamiiAfrica also highlighted practical steps women can take when encountering misinformation or unequal treatment, both online and offline.
By fostering awareness and equipping women with tools to navigate digital platforms safely, JamiiAfrica continues to advocate for a more inclusive, informed, and democratic society where all citizens can participate without fear of harassment or discrimination.
