2024 was a year of profound changes, learning and challenges for TEDIC. A year that prompted us to reaffirm our commitment to the defense of digital rights, freedom of expression and access to information in contexts of increasing control and surveillance. Despite the hostilities, this scenario allowed us to grow in alliances and community.
Amid this challenging context, we also experienced moments of great light. We launched researches, added new campaigns, conducted many -many!- digital security workshops, participated in national and international events, always striving for more training, more free culture, more advocacy, more action and more community. At the regional and international level, we continue to actively participate in multilateral advocacy spaces, bringing the voice of Paraguay and the Global South to discussions on platform regulation, artificial intelligence, personal data, gender equality and surveillance technologies. Our participation was part of our ongoing effort to influence globally from a local perspective.
We know that the scenario ahead will not be simple. Threats to our rights are multiplying in the form of regressive laws, hate speech, and a digitalization that is often imposed without consultation or democratic regulation. But we also recognize the opportunities: there is more social awareness, more organized community, more feminist and territorial networks that are embracing technology from care and resistance.
We invite you to take a look at all the work we did in 2024, reading the report here. And we hope you’ll continue to join us in the fight for human rights in digital environments for many years to come.
