    Last month, we hosted an event in New York with United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) on the sidelines of UNGA about "The power of storytelling in the fight against technology-facilitated gender-based violence". We heard from many of you who would have liked to be there so we're sharing snippets of videos from the panel. In this clip, you see Julie Inman - Grant the eSafety Commissioner for Australia explain how tech companies can do better when it comes to online hate. Julie leads the world’s first government regulatory agency committed to keeping its citizens safer online. As Commissioner since January, 2017, Julie has overseen significant increases in the eSafety office’s budget, increased staffing levels and launched innovative programs such as the Safety by Design and Women in the Spotlight initiatives. Ms. Inman-Grant has established herself as a nimble and anticipatory regulator, establishing the innovative tech trends horizon scanning program in 2020. Julie serves on the Advisory Board of the Technology Policy Design Centre. She served as co-founder and inaugural chair of the Global Online Safety Regulators Network and is a long-serving Board Member of the WePROTECT Global Alliance. She also serves on the World Economic Forum’s Global Coalition for Digital Safety; represents Australia on the Global Partnership for Action on Gender-Based Harassment & Abuse and serves on France’s Laboratory for Women’s Rights Online. Julie was recently deemed one of the top 150 women in the global cyber profession for the third year running.

    Excited to share that Chayn’s first Open-Source Tech Volunteer Program has been a great success! 🎉 In this program, we gathered a diverse group of multidisciplinary technologists to onboard onto our open-source codebase, support the open-source ethos, and innovate on developer programs for social impact organisations. Led by Kylee F., Developer Advocacy Manager, with Eleanor Re'em, Senior Software Engineer, this program leveraged open-source collaboration on GitHub for sustainable developer community management. The results: - Incredible contributions that scaled our development team - Technologists left feeling empowered to contribute to social impact open-source projects - Innovations to our developer programs to help scale future social impact volunteer programs We are grateful for our talented volunteers, like Conor Kirby and Katherine Donald, who share their experiences as volunteers in our blog post, along with our amazing community! Success is not measured in lines of code, but in real-world impact. 🌐 Learn more and get involved: https://lnkd.in/e4bdgWMc

We heard from many of you who would have liked to be there so we're sharing snippets of videos from the panel. In this clip, you can see Manish Rahatkar, a Film writer and producer from Bollywood/Hindi films, talk about how movies can create cultural change and why impact-driven movies shouldn't just be indie but in the mainstream too! Manish has worked in various capacities on films such as Mere Pyaari Bindu, The Sky is Pink, and Trapped. He wrote and directed his first short film, Visa, in 2017, which was picked up by the mainstream news for its heartwarming portrayal of the immigration crisis, and travelled to festivals around the world. It was later acquired by Royal Stag Barrel Select Large Short Films, and has since garnered over three million views online. He is currently writing screenplay and dialogues of an action-adventure feature for B. R. Chopra Films and is head writing a series for Netflix, being produced by House of Talkies.
