Online gender-based violence against gender and sexual minorities and misogyny results in offline harm and results in people receding from online spaces. Uli (meaning chisel in Tamil) is our attempt to hand the chisel and power over to users most affected by online gender-based violence. Uli aims to build and demand for responsibity and inclusivity in the systems that shape our online life. - Uli was born from the collective labour of journalists, activists, community influencers, and writers engaged in the struggle against the interwoven caste, religion, gender and sexuality-based violence both online and offline. They contributed towards the development of the Uli tool that allows us to filter out offensive words/phrases, archive problematic content and call out for support. Uli is not imagined as the final product, but rather a simple tool, a chisel, that allows one to make a room of one’s own or courtyards where people can come together, share stories, and reflect on the future we all want to see. - In its second year, Uli is evolving as a user-facing tool; as well as a set of resources that researchers, Trust and Safety teams and professionals, and journalists can use in their workflows. +### (Uli in Media)[../uli_media.mdx] ## The Team @@ -20,7 +19,6 @@ Uli was launched in 2021 as a joint project between The [Centre for Internet and The current project team is comprised of: - * **Denny George** : Engineering lead, [denntenna](https://denntenna.github.io/), * **Siddharth Manohar**: Data Governance Researcher, * **Sudeep Duggal** : Fullstack engineer, @@ -28,20 +26,19 @@ The current project team is comprised of: * **Yash Budhwar** : Operations and contracts, * **Yohan Mathew** : ML DevOps - Advisors/ Volunteers: * **Ambika Tandon** : Overall Project, * **Arnav Arora** : Data Science, [@rnav_arora](https://twitter.com/rnav_arora), * **Cheshta Arora** : Researcher, * **Kaustubha Kalidindi** : Community Building, - For our work in 2023 we have partnered with four stellar organizations: 1.
