Abstract
Through skills diffusion and capacity building, the Feminist Tech Exchange (FTX) aimed to empower women’s rights organisations, advocates and feminists sidelined in the growth of the global digital commons. This report reviews activities, outcomes, and outputs of the workshops and training sessions. The Exchange responds to the expressed needs of feminist and women’s rights movements for greater understanding of emerging ICT and its applications. The FTX online website is envisaged as a sustained community space for FTX trainers, facilitators and participants. See the current (2020) website https://www.apc.org/en/project/feminist-tech-exchange
