Hi @mamahtar, this sounds like a nice project! Do you have a vision statement I could read to learn more?

[mamahtar]

Hi @bebatut . Yes, i have written the goals of the project below :)

• Work with tech community in Nepal and make it inclusive of perspective of women and queer people. (e.g. working with developers)
• Develop and run a campaign which provides information on privacy, security and and data protection targeting women and queer communities outside tech community

Hi @mamahtar, congratulations on your project! :)

I would actually prefer a full sentence instead of 2 bullet points as a vision statement.
Suggestion:
"We're working with the tech community in Nepal to run a privacy, security, and data protection educational campaign in order to create a more safe and inclusive space for women and queer people online."
