9:00am – 10:30am (GMT +2)

This session will be centered on the intersections between the working/advocacy topics of the women that come to the FTX in relation to communications rights. Also, this was thought as a way to promote the strategic thought and use of technology in the women’s movement. Hence, we'll have 10 working spaces with break-out groups discussing on these issues and coming back to a final plenary where speakers will provide a final reflection on communication rights and violence against women, telecommunication policies, politics and access to knowledge.
