Digital security trainings are part of 7amleh’s ongoing efforts to build the capacity of Palestinian civil society in digital security, digital activism and digital campaigning.

7amleh - The Arab Center for the Advancement of Social Media trained 246 Palestinian youth in digital security from January to June 2020.

The majority of workshops took place between January and March, before the outbreak of the coronavirus and the declaration of an emergency situation. Whereas the coronavirus resulted in a temporary stop to workshops, several workshops were held in May and June. One of these workshops was held online due to the situation.

In total, 226 girls/ women and 20 men/ boys were trained in digital security and gender-sensitive digital security in the first half of 2020.
