Org:Art+Feminism Security Toolkit
The Art+Feminism User Group are developing strategies and tools to help their community deal with and prevent online harassment that may occur as a result of their involvement with Art+Feminism projects. This initiative is a response to harassment experienced by members of the A+F leadership collective and reports that we have received from members of our community. We know from experience that Wikimedia’s online community is far from being a safe space for everyone, so we decided to create a group specifically charged with developing tools to prevent and document incidents of harassment or misbehavior to guide users through the relevant WMF tools available. This work has been done in consultation with the WMF's Trust and Safety team and Legal team. The Art+Feminism Anti-Harassment Working Group (AHWG) was formed in the Fall of 2019.[1]

| Description | We have initiated a line of work to develop strategies and tools that help our community deal with and prevent online harassment that may occur as a result of their involvement with Art+Feminism projects. This initiative is a response to the experiences of harassment lived by members of our leadership collective, as well as to the reports that we have received from members of our community over the course of our organization’s history. We know from experience that Wikimedia’s online community is far from being a safe space for everyone, which is why we decided to create a group specifically charged with developing tools to prevent and document incidents of harassment or misbehavior, in order to guide users through the tools already in place via the Wikimedia Foundation. This work has been done in consultation with the Trust and Safety team, as well as the Legal team at the Wikimedia Foundation. The Art+Feminism Anti-Harassment Working Group (AHWG) was formed in the Fall of 2019. |
