african digital rights network (ADRN)

Profile
The African Digital Rights Network (ADRN) is a network of activists, academics and analysts who carry out research on digital rights in Africa. We carry out novel studies, produce unique reports, and are publishing a groundbreaking series of collected edition books.

The network brings together 75+ researchers from 30+ African countries who share a commitment to enabling citizens to freely exercise, defend, and expand their digital rights.

By digital rights we mean existing human rights but in digital spaces, for example the right to freedom of opinion and expression online, the right to privacy of communication or correspondence when using email or social media, and the right to equitable participation in the social, economic, and political life of the community online (aka digital citizenship).
