What will happen in your session?

This session aims to get participants to create humorous counter-speeches to combat machitrolls on the internet. First of all, we will present the Machitroll Alert (https://bit.ly/2Ldh7yN), a digital campaign that seeks to deconstruct cyber-chauvinism experienced by women through a humor-based counter-speech. Second, we will have a collective reflection on where participants are expected to share experiences, either as a victim or as a witness, with machitrolls on the Internet. From there, we will come up with a category and common characteristics of machitrolls. Finally, participants will create humorous counter-narratives (eg. memes) to respond to machitrolls & demonstrate that together we can build an inclusive & plural internet where all voices can be heard & we can be free of violence.

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

The goal of this session is to generate humorous narratives/contents (in English, Spanish or in the mother tongue of any of the participants) available on the Alerta Machitroll platform and in any other repository identified in the session so that anyone can use them when faced with gender-based violence on the Internet. With them, we would be creating counter-discourse memes that would take away power and strength from the sexist violence through humour, a tool of transgression and healing of the horror of violence.

If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.

We will require a projector and sound that will allow us to show several short videos of the Machitroll Alert

Hey y'all, quick question: Can this be condense from 90 minutes to 60 minutes?

amatod commented 5 years ago

It is definitely possible to condense the session into 60 minutes, although there would be less time for the collective creation of memes.

A quick note from the PrivSec space is that this is an excellent proposal. If for some daft reason @MozillaFestival/2018-digital-inclusion-wranglers don't take this, we will as its secondary space.
