Whose voice is on the World Wide Web?

Technology is rapidly evolving. Less than 30 years ago the World Wide Web was created. In 2007 that the first iPhone hit the market. While these tools are convenient, they spark a lot of questions. Who has access to the information? What are our rights in regards to privacy and personal information? Who controls the content we see on searches?

Three quarters of online users access the Internet from the global South – Asia, Africa and Latin America. Nearly half of online users are women. Yet most public knowledge online has so far been written by white men from Europe and North America.

Whose Knowledge? was created to address this problem. Whose Knowledge?, a group fiscally sponsored by PDF, is a global campaign to center the knowledge of marginalized communities on the Internet. To ensure that many groups are represented online, Whose Knowledge? works with women, people of color, LGBTQI communities, indigenous peoples and others from the global South to fill in the gaps of online information.
