Digital Society Africa’s (DSA) Framing Digital Security in the Context of Southern Africa: Issues, Challenges and Best Practices
This will be a conversation that contextualizes the issues of digital security in Southern Africa, where we ground the key challenges we face in the region and speak on the role of local communities in our successes. We will also speak on how different countries are responding to issues such as shutdowns and elections, identify who can provide support to onground defenders and how they can provide their assistance. Finally, we also speak on the work DSA is doing within the region and identify best practices that need to be developed
Bio: Tawanda is a Co-founder of Digital Society of Africa (DSA) that works to strengthen the resilience and ability of frontline activists; human rights defenders and other at-risk groups in the region to independently recognize and respond to digital threats and attacks. They seek to achieve this using the holistic security approach; through a range of activities including: organisational security audits; risk assessment; training, sustainable security accompaniment; security policy formulation and tech support.
