This day marks Wiquaya's second year of life. For this occasion, we have made a presentation of our present and future actions in an activities report for the year 2022. Thank you again for your support.
The wiquaya website becomes accessible to English-speakers folks !
Thank you to the people who worked on it and your valuable feedback.
The english version is available HERE.
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!
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!
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!
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.
Our association is developing a small card game to facilitate internet privacy awareness workshops for our target audience.
Stay Tuned !
50% of the kitty has been filled thanks to your donations. Thank you again for your support, whether material or emotional, punctual or timeless.
Practical point: some rewards have been sent. The rest will be distributed in April.
The second episode of this podcast is about the initiative that is Wiquaya. We talk about the protection of privacy in feminist circles, feminism in librist circles but also of "revenge porn", intersectionality, and other notions!
This day marks Wiquaya's first year of life. For this occasion, we have made a presentation of our present and future actions in an activities report from the end of 2020 but especially from the year 2021. Thank you again for your support. Besides, the fundraiser is progressing well, we are almost at the 50% level.
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.
We held a stand and made a small presentation in Toulouse to publicize the project.
A hanging booklet available thanks to the fundraiser has been distributed. It's great, it's made for that!
Thank you for your interest and support!
Wiquaya is launching a fundraiser so that you can financially support our first year as an association.
The link of the fundraiser is HERE.
On the occasion of the festive launch of the magazine of the Ourses à Plumes : New ways of fighting, we had the opportunity to hold a stand to present wiquaya!
We also had the opportunity to write an article there: When living is struggling, a queer experience on the Internet. In it we discusses the necessity of cyberfeminism.

Wiquaya is now an association, law 1901!
This status will allow us more room for maneuver concerning the actions that we wish to put in place.
An update about the site layout, this time!
There is the addition of "share" and "copy" buttons for definitions and tools in the tab "resources" of the website
It's now easier to discuss wiquaya's content with your community, loved ones and others!
We reread all the sheets (it was long) and we added your suggestions (mobilizon, bodyguard, https, ...)
We also checked that the links of the tools were still functional (with one or two human errors).
The new sheets have arrived. !
Do you use your computer on the train and wonder how to surf the internet securely? A new sheet in the "prevention".
Do you use your computer on the train and wonder how to surf the internet securely? A new sheet in the tab "the basics".
Do you use one or more social media (Facebook, TikTok, etc.)? Six new sheets in the "social media".
Do you send encrypted or signed emails with Thunderbird? Two new sheets in the "the basics"
New contacts have joined us in the directory : The Sorority, La Rebooterie !
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!
To order it, click here!
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.
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.
We signed the open letter to remove Richard M. Stallman (RMS) from all leadership positions.
More info, in French:here.
Journalist Nathalie Troquereau interviewed wiquaya. Here is her article: HERE.
The site is now operational! We would like to thank LBWebsite for this very nice and ergonomic site, the people who answered our questions to clear the ground for issues of Online privacy for queers and our loved ones for their reviews and informed opinions. =p
