📖 Report - Decolonizing Emerging Technology: An Intersectional Feminist Approach to Resisting Technology-Facilitated Oppression
Emerging technologies are exacerbating gender-based violence (GBV), disinformation, and environmental dispossession, disproportionately affecting womxn, LGBTQ+ individuals, and Indigenous Peoples. Large technology companies, also known as Big Tech, operate without sufficient accountability, reinforcing digital colonialism and economic exploitation. This report outlines urgent policy gaps and presents recommendations for feminist-led, inclusive technology governance.

Open Letter to Big Tech Corporations, Policymakers, and Global Institutions:
We’re calling for accountability, transparency, equity, and justice in the governance of emerging technologies. The unchecked power of Big Tech has deepened gender-based oppression, environmental dispossession, and silenced marginalized voices. We refuse to let technology be a tool of colonial exploitation. We demand a digital future that is feminist, decolonized, and just.
