Queer Intersectional Festival

On the occasion of the QIF organized by Intersections Queer, we had the opportunity to lead our playful workshop: GAFAMa vie privée (breach of my privacy). This opportunity to train in practical cases that speak to us, moreover in cooperation, is valuable. We hope to be able to repeat this experience!

Update #4

The sheets have been reread, moreover the date at the top right of each sheet has changed from October 2021 to September 2022 to attest to this. The term "GAFAM" remains visible on them. That said, we have added, next to it, the change of name of the Facebook company to Meta.
We have revisited the directory contact sites to ensure that we are always up-to-date and in line with them. Reminder of newcomers to the site: Jargon Combatif in the "tools" section and in the glossary, we have Gras Politique and Nta Rajel?.
We - literally - clicked on all the links in the "tools" section. Result: a dead link that has been replaced!

For a feminist and trans alliance.

We signed the column on Mediapart "For a feminist and trans alliance." which follows the "reactionary offensive" provoked by a Family Planning poster. Indeed, there is "an instrumentalization of women's rights" and an "essensialist vision of women". It is a feminist support for transgender people. The rights and fights of trans people are inseparable from feminist fights!

feminist self-defense day

The association FAIRE FACE organized a day around the book "For feminist self-defense" by Mathilde Blézat.
We had a stand there to present the prevention and repair tools offered by Wiquaya.
It was also an opportunity to experiment together for the first time with the card game that we recently created and designed.

Intervention on cyber domestic violence

Invited by the Planning Familial 81 at the Banc Sonore, Wiquaya intervened following the screening of the documentary Traquées by Marine Perin. We were able to discuss ways to regain power on the Internet when you are a person suffering from cyber-violence or to prevent it as best as possible.

A wiquaya booklet !

Our primary goal has always been to promote the importance of privacy for queer people on the internet.
Not everyone is comfortable with a computer, not everyone is comfortable browsing a site, etc.
It is therefore from these postulates that the idea of printing a small booklet listing the information of the site arrived but not only!

Against abolitionism and its intox.

We signed the tribune of the Grande Horizontale collective "The victim was almost perfect" concerning the abolitionist discourse on sex work, in particular the instrumentalisation of the traumas, real or supposed, of sex workers and other minority people.

Update #1 !

And no, it's not a joke that we're playing on you. A small update in the tools, the directory and the glossary! A proofreading of the sheets has been done and - for the moment - they are still as relevant as ever!
And finally, let's be a bit meta: the appearance of this "NEWS" section! All the news will therefore be transcribed here.
