Background

Web Foundation has now run two Tech Policy Design Labs (TPDL) and within those explored numerous ways of designing interventions to create a more equitable web. Building on the learning process from the OGBV TPDL, Superbloom has been working with four contributors and 8 advisors from the global majority to develop a playbook to support organizations and teams interested in using the TPDL model to develop interventions in issues areas, such as OGBV. The playbook is available in the form of a website so that various stakeholders can better explore and utilize the playbook to build a more equitable web and engage with efforts to combat OGBV.
