[ Session Name ] Localizing #MeToo: Practical Strategies and Tactics to tackle Sexual Misconduct [ Primary Space ] Openness

[ Submitter's Name ] Kim Pham [ Submitter's Affiliated Organisation ] Independent Community Catalyst :)

[ Localisation Support Requested ] I can host in English but would like to find ways to support additional languages.

What will happen in your session?

In breakout groups, community input on strategies to address sexual misconduct in the technology and rights space will be sourced to highlight regionally specific solutions. These will be mapped in a draft matrix framework that sorts preventative and reactive solutions at different levels (community - organization - individual). Based on the mapping, common elements (norms, accountability mechanisms, etc) will be collectively identified, as well as potential gaps. The session will close with an emphasis on solutions, community and connection: participants listing which area of the matrix they would like to prioritize in their home communities, the strategies they think are appropriate in that area, and person(s) they would like to liase with as they move forward.

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

The session aims to practically support diversity and inclusion by translating the momentum of the #MeToo movement into concrete strategies and tactics for community members from non-Western countries. It also aims to address the gap in resources to address sexual misconduct, most of which are tailored for international fora or Western organizations.

Specific outcomes include:

Empower through sourcing culturally specific/country specific strategies that work for tackling sexual misconduct, including ally-ship strategies.
Build solidarity and support mechanisms through identifying others from similar contexts
Provide (and refine based on community input) a framework that supports tactical and strategic clarity on addressing sexual misconduct in technology and rights spaces

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

No GitHub ID included, but we'd like to know why this was chosen as openness rather than digital inclusion - emailing the facilitator instead.

Hi Yo - this is the facilitator for the session.

The session should be in digital inclusion - I made an error in the submission. Thanks for catching this.

Also I'd like to note: I am interested in Queering Mozfest as a secondary space but that was not presented as an option on the form. Is this possible to do?

Thanks!

Kim

Thank you for taking the time to submit a session to MozFest.

Due to the high level of submissions, we’re unable to accept all proposals and unfortunately, your session was not part of the final group.

You'll receive a follow up email from us in the next few days.
