I'M AN ACTIVIST

I believe in the power of research-based activism, and for this reason, I engage in activism and advocacy campaigns for data justice and digital human rights.
My areas of expertise are digital rights, algorithmic discrimination, online gender-based violence and hate, digital activism and online sexualities (see "Researcher" section). 
At the end of 2018, I became the promoter of the Italian campaign #intimitàviolata, which in 2019 led to the recognition of the crime of non-consensual sharing of intimate material ("revenge porn") in Italy. Over the years, I joined several international initiatives and campaigns against image-based sexual abuse (IBSA) and online violence, collaborating with international NGOs and several foreign governmental institutions, such as the European Commission, the White House, the European Institute for Gender Equality and the Council of Europe.
I have co-founded the Italian association Virgin & Martyr, led the Advocacy and Research Office at Cyber Rights Organization, and I am part of the global IBSA coalition Reclaim. 

WHAT I DO 

- I collaborate with international institutions, collectives, schools, universities, NGOs and only few selected companies. I participate in events, conferences, and festivals as a speaker or moderator, online and in person.

- I do social research and write high-impact articles, books, reports and papers. I also engage in research-based online content creation (posts, videos, podcasts) to disseminate my mission and value.

- I teach and design multilingual courses, workshops and interactive classes to promote dialogues around social justice & tech.

- I provide experted consultancies in the field of digital rights, online gender-based violence and data justice.

- I think and develop advocacy campaigns to promote digital human rights and gender equality globally.
