• Key issues and emerging trends in Asia for digital human rights: how privacy data bills, internet shutdowns and VPN access impact people on the ground.

• The challenges of bringing disparate digital communities across Asia together.

• Lessons learned from past successes and failures of digital networks, campaigns and infrastructure.
