About the contest

Whether in the form of a cartoon, digital art or an illustration, your image should capture the spirit of activism, resistance, and resilience in the region. Be bold, creative and inspiring. We’d love participants to explore their own personal styles and ideas in this contest.

The 10th edition of RightsCon (June 7-11) is less than a month away, and as plans for the program – our largest yet! – take shape, our team is excited to introduce a new initiative called Open Spaces to help our community connect, form partnerships, and advance the conversation for human rights in the digital age.
The idea for Open Spaces originated from feedback that we received from RightsCon Online (2020). Participants wanted to see more opportunities for networking and spaces to make “hallway” connections, socialize, and unwind, as we would have in an in-person setting. Open Spaces emphasize building partnerships, coalitions, and networks of trust within the RightsCon community – and, importantly, offer an opportunity to have a little fun and relax.
RightsCon 2021 will support three different formats for Open Spaces: Social Hours, Free Play, and After Dark.
☞ Social Hours are hosted in an integrated platform and provide flexible, informal space for meeting other participants on a variety of topics, from social or creative activities, games and icebreakers, to drop-in hours with funders and company leaders, and more. Every day of RightsCon will host a few Social Hours, each of which will open for 60 minutes and will feature virtual “tables” that seek to replicate the feel of meeting new and old friends over coffee breaks in an in-person summit.

This event took place on February 17 and is part of our RightsCon 10th Anniversary Series. You can watch the full session with captions in Arabic below. If you missed our first event on Transparency Reporting, you can watch it here.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Arab spring in which activists and citizens in Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Libya and across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) used social media and digital communication tools to organize, uprise and push for freedom as well as political and social justice.
Mohamad Najem the Executive Director of SMEX, a digital rights organized based in Lebanon, “back in 2008 when we started using social media tools, it was all about how we can use these tools more strategically, how we can get to the goals we want…everyone was jumping on these tools.”
Since then, governments have woken up to the “hazards” of the internet and placed new restrictions on what can be read, shared or posted online. Authoritarian governments, over the past ten years, have shown their commitment to counter and challenge the potential of the internet and online space to empower citizens and mobilise opposition. Social media platforms have also contributed to their repression by adopting
The RightsCon program is the foundation of the summit experience. Sourced through an open Call for Proposals, the public program is built by and for our community, and reflects the fluid and expanding landscape of human rights in the digital age.
The Call for Proposals evolves from one cycle to the next, leaving room for both continuity and change, while surfacing issues that are relevant to world events and unique to our host country. This year is no different. With the 10th edition of RightsCon set to take place online from June 7 to 11, the Call for Proposals presented both challenges and opportunities for our team. We wondered: would our community continue to see the value in an online summit? Would reduced travel and financial barriers lead to new ideas and different perspectives? Could we build on t
Registration for the 10th edition of RightsCon (June 7-11, 2021), the world’s leading summit on human rights in the digital age, is now open, with early bird tickets (both paid and free) available until March 31, 2021!
RightsCon 2021 will take place entirely online, spanning all time zones, with both live and asynchronous content from Monday June 7, 2021 to Friday June 11, 2021.
Over the last decade, RightsCon has been a home for a growing digital rights movement, gathering thousands of human rights defenders, advocates, creatives, policy makers, technologists, journalists, private sector representatives from around the world. Last year, our first online event welcomed nearly 8,000 participants from 158 countries. This year’s program will host hundreds of sessions to reflect on the evolving nature of our work, celebrate what we have achieved, and chart a path forward in a moment where civil society-led spaces are most needed.
Our approach to registration
Since our first event in 2011, inclusion has been the guiding principle of RightsCon, informing our approach to registration no matter where we gathered. In 2019, we offered over 2,000 free tickets at RightsCon Tunis and las
This event took place on Dec. 11, 2020 and is part of our RightsCon 10th Anniversary Series. If you missed it live, you can watch the full session recording below. You can also watch Telia Company and Kakao present on their approach to transparency reporting, and hear from SASB on the new reporting metrics they are incorporating into their standards.
Ten years ago, Google released the first transparency report in the tech sector. Since then, over 70 companies have released similar reports, from telcos and social media platforms, to IoT companies. These reports have given us a picture of the scope of government surveillance and helped us understand how some companies enforce their own Terms of Service.
The growing prevalence of transparency reporting has also been evident in our RightsCon summit series; since 2014, the RightsCon program has featured at least one session on transparency reporting each year. With the upcoming 10th edition of RightsCon launching online from June 7-11, 2021, Access Now and our Transparency & Tech co-sponsor, BSR, took a moment to reflect on the past decade of transparency reporting, examine the gaps that need to be filled, and look ahead to how reporting must change to meet the demands of an increasingly digi
This is the second installment in our 2021 Call for Proposals blog series. You can read the first installment in the series here. The next and final installment will be published in the first week of December.
Today we’re officially launching our Call for Proposals for the 10th edition of RightsCon (June 7-11, 2021)! You have until January 19, 2021 to submit your session proposal.
Every year, the RightsCon public program is sourced and built from the ideas that come through the Call for Proposals. Session organizers not only shape the agenda on human rights and technology, but also ensure that critical perspectives are represented and uplifted at our convening.
RightsCon is a community of communities. We connect stakeholders from around the world – policymakers, industry leaders, activists, technologists, researchers, lawyers, designers, journalis
This is the first installment in our 2021 Call for Proposals blog series. The next installment will be published on November 18, 2020, when our Call for Proposals launches.

From June 7 to 11, 2021, RightsCon will host the 10th edition of our Summit Series online – a milestone in our history and a moment for both celebration and reflection. Over the years, RightsCon has supported an incredible 1,800+ sessions, and brought together thousands of participants across five continents. Yet these numbers don’t do enough to capture what we have learned, experienced, and achieved since our inaugural summit in Silicon Valley in 2011.
Last year, before the Call for Proposals opened, we took a look back at our program’s evolution and transformation over time. Now, as RightsCon’s first decade comes to a close, we’re drawing a map for the road ahead.
With the coinciding crises of COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and rising authoritarianism as our backdrop, Access Now is doubling down on our approach to convening, with new urgency and emphasis on sustaining a community of communities. The interconnected nature of our movements is the driving force of o
