The first activity of Take Back The tech this year 2020 has started from Central Women’s University on 23rd January. The program was organized with the participation of about 70 female students of the university. The program focused on the cyber risks of female students and various aspects of remedies.
After completing the first successful event in 2020, we were thinking of organizing some more events like that. But before arranging the rest, a severe pandemic situation started all over the world. For which all the institutions & organizations closed to avoid public gathering and to obey the rules about maintaining social distance.
When all the people started to depend on online for keeping themselves updated about all the news of the world, the problems of the cyber world got increased. That’s why, we started to circulate information about cyber safety through live sessions on social media.
