Methodologies	Roundtable and Q&A (2 hours) Welcome, intros, and notes on key terms 'women' and 'surveillance' Several short talks (10 mins each) considering three questions: 1. Is there historical story you'd like to highlight from your main country context on women being surveilled, or women working in anti-surveillance? 2. What do you see as the main issues now for women in anti-surveillance from your context? 3. Where do you see things heading for women in your context in the coming couple of years? Quick reflections from speakers: What struck you listening to others? (15 mins) Q&A from audience (15-20 mins) Part II: Workshop and next steps After a short break, we'll come back for small group work and plenary discussion. During this workshop portion of the event, I'd love it if each speakers would facilitate a small discussion group of participants (4-6 people max each) to talk about issues and document key discussion points. Overarching questions for the small group work can be: How can this issue be improved vis-a-vis women in anti-surveillance?
