The Digital Rights Academy is aimed at building the capacity of African civil society organisations, journalists, advocates and others to understand, advocate and defend digital rights on the continent. The Litigation clinic is an academy to train Lawyers specifically on handling issues of Digital Rights tailored to the Nigerian context.
Now more than ever, the subject of human rights online has become more important with digitalization shaping the majority of today’s economic and social activities. With incessant digital rights violations that manifest in form of social media bans, internet shutdowns, cyberbullying, arrests of activists and data privacy invasions amongst others, the subject is not only relevant to policymakers, journalists, advocates, and civil society organizations who work around the theme of human rights online and ICTs for Development but also individuals who are interested in and rely heavily on the use of the internet for activism, advocacy or civic engagement.
