[kictanet] KIGF Call For Topics

[Yvonne Owino]

Hi Rosemary,

I think it would be interesting to hear a discussion around the challenges
faced by women and girls in all their diversity (include sexual and gender
minorities) in the digital space and the srategies that can be put in place
to ensure their safety andd security as they exercise their freedom of
expression online.
