What it’s like to be an extrovert-presenting introvert at a conference: a short thread
First things first: I want to do a deeper write up about this, and I’d like someone who wants to read that blog post to hold me accountable. But I need a few days to decompress.

.@nighatdad is the Founder of @DigitalRightsPK, a women-led advocacy NGO that fights for safe and open access to the internet for women in Pakistan. #WWWomen #InternationalWomensDay
"Women in #Pakistan experience online spaces very differently than men. The constant abuse that they face... on online platforms is nerve-wrecking, and ultimately leads to self-censorship.
In some cases, women leave online spaces in fear of their physical safety."

"The thing that keeps me fighting for open access is when I see young girls and women fighting to occupy online spaces and trolling the trolls...
Online spaces belong to women as much as it belongs to anyone else."
