Human rights in the digital context in Namibia

This report on Namibia's human rights and digital landscape highlights key issues such as digital inclusion gaps, especially in rural areas, and the rise of disinformation targeting women during the 2024 elections. It also raises concerns about the lack of data protection laws, increasing cyberattacks, and the absence of specific legislation to combat technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV). The report calls for stronger digital access, improved data protection, and more targeted action to address TFGBV, ensuring human rights frameworks guide technology use in Namibia.
