DRAPAC24 gathered over 287 changemakers from 150 organizations in Taipei, Taiwan for two days of conversations centered on three broad themes: regional solution-making, empowerment of young persons, and adoption of open technology.
By highlighting common challenges, sharing strategies, and fostering regional collaboration, the session aimed to move towards building a movement to resist the erosion of digital rights and curtailment of free speech in South and Southeast Asia.
At DRAPAC24, participants discussed young people’s role in their countries’ elections, delving into issues like meaningful youth representation and the double-edged sword of social media.
During the DRAPAC24 session, panelists reflected on their experiences in conducting security auditing activities to enhance digital security support for CSOs and at-risk groups and identify ways to address key challenges in implementation.
