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

- I 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 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 internationally.
