WHAT WE STAND FOR

We believe that the advent of digital technology has significantly transformed our societies, reshaping old spaces and offering new ones for the exploration of intimacy and self-expression both online and offline.

However, these spaces have been colonized by big corporations, driven mainly by commercial greed, who have no respect for fundamental rights or our safety and exacerbate forms of discrimination, particularly for the historically marginalized.

The technology we want has to empower people, making us strong even when we are naked, to foster empathy and to apply a truly holistic approach for shaping the way these tools interact with our intimate lives.

Tech-giants must stop preying on our desires because our intimacy does not belong to them, and we will not let them jeopardize our agency and the future of our society for their reckless market domination.

Our commitment is to reshape digital intimacy in our collective cyberspace, spearheading a cultural revolution that supports privacy, diversity and sexual expression.

We urge lawmakers and regulators to make these corporations accountable, dismantle systemic barriers and create a world where digital technologies welcome all genders and sexual identities.

We uphold digital human rights to ensure that our intimacy can thrive in online spaces which are safe, respectful and empowering for all genders and sexual identities, fostering an environment where everyone can express themselves freely and without fear of discrimination, harassment or data exploitation. Through our collective actions, we aim to create a digital world that enhances the diversity and inclusivity we seek in society, where every voice is heard and valued equally.

We actively fight against gender-based violence and the spread of gendered disinformation in digital spaces, creating collaborations and implementing strategies that aim to challenge harmful narratives and the domination of tech-corporations over our intimacy. Our commitment extends to empowering communities with education, resources and support systems that advocate for equality and respect.

We promote education, culture and public awareness focused on solidarity and destigmatization, both online and offline, in such a way that can support ethical sextech developers and platforms together with human rights of people in sexwork, with a special focus on empowering small and medium enterprises within this sector.

We want to reclaim our digital intimacy and we will not stop until we get it back!
