Channel: Access Now
Date: 04/11/2022

November 4, 2022, will mark two years of deliberate and sustained  use of internet shutdowns that continue to fracture the lives of approximately 10 million people in Tigray and beyond. Together with together with our partners from Ethiopia and around the world, Access Now is hosting this web event to amplify the impact of the two-year-long internet blackout in Tigray on people in and outside the region as well to galvanize international support to bring an end to the shutdown and ongoing conflict in the region. People who have been directly or indirectly impacted by the shutdown will share their stories and experiences about how the shutdown is interfering with critical aspects of their lives and will serve as an opportunity to pressure stakeholders around the globe to denounce the shutdown and bring an end to it. 

*We do recognize that this is a sensitive issue and we are taking the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of all speakers and participants.*
