Digital Safety

A panel with Aleisha Amohia, Alison Mau, and representatives from the Classification Office will engage in a balanced and multifaceted discussion on digital safety, with a particular lens on the experiences of women and marginalised groups.

The conversation will encompass:

1. Advocacy for Survivors: Alison Mau's work with Tika's PledgeMe campaign would be a focal point, discussing how technology can be leveraged to support survivors of sexual harm and hold perpetrators accountable.

2. Content Consumption and Misogyny: The Classification Office will share research on the content New Zealanders are consuming, what this says about gender attitudes, and how this relates to online harm.

3. Digital Inclusion and Empowerment: Aleisha Amohia will share about her efforts to promote equity and inclusion in online spaces and tech solutions, so that users and builders are empowered to navigate the digital world safely.

The panel will aim to provide an overview of the current landscape of digital safety and offer insights and tools for a more inclusive and respectful digital community.
