This session will provide a platform for grassroots activists - facing distinctly different digital threats across North Africa - to highlight their need for more tailored and context specific digital security training and tools. While digital security becomes an increasingly talked about and important part of human rights protection, and new training opportunities and tools become widespread, grassroots human rights groups across North Africa still struggle to access resources that are tailored to their precise needs. This panel will allow frontline groups to delve into the threat models they operate within, and share their digital security needs with the larger human rights technology community.
