CYBER BYTES: WORKSHOPS
Our Approach: Empowering Women and Queer Youth Through Cybersecurity Education
This series aims to offer inclusive digital safety and advocacy practices that center the needs and experiences of women and gender diverse people from Indigenous, Black and racialized communities.
We are designing a comprehensive educational framework with a national reach. Our goal is to provide women, queer individuals, and youth with the knowledge and tools to protect themselves from online threats, increase their cybersecurity awareness, and boost their confidence in navigating the digital world.

AI IRL: How You Interact with AI and How to Stay Safe

Understanding & Responding to Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence
Learn how TFGBV shows up, who it harms, and how we can stay safer and support each other online. Grounded in intersectional feminist frameworks, the workshop explores how gendered digital harm is shaped by systems of oppression such as racism, ableism, colonialism, and transphobia.
Facilitated by Alexis-Carlota Cochrane
Digital Resilience Through Collective Care
Digital Resilience Through Collective Care invites participants to reimagine digital safety as a practice of collective care rather than individual burden. Together, we’ll unpack the emotional and relational impacts of digital threats, explore how power and privilege shape our vulnerabilities, and share tools and strategies grounded in solidarity.
