Digital
Digital technologies enable us to communicate, travel, work, learn, study and socialize better – across national borders. According to the principles of the Internet, digital networking ensures more participation, more involvement, more knowledge for all and thus puts our democracy on a broader basis.

In China, digitization is being used to totally control society, so that any dissent can be nipped in the bud.
More than ever, we need freedom and justice. I am fighting for a solidary, green and feminist digitalization – for everyone.

In an “Open Letter” to the EU Commission, I call for a red line to be drawn opposing all systems that involve the recognition of gender, sexual orientation or characteristics such as ethnicity, state of health or disability.
