Dear Marianne<br>
<br>
Thanks for posting this. This also reached us at APC this week, and
many of us did not know about Heike's death. She worked with us
closely on many projects and publications, and we are planning to
dedicate an edition of GenderIT.org to her and her work.<br>
<br>
In 2013 she wrote this chapter for us for Global Information Society
Watch.<br>

<br>
It is a great loss.<br>

Dear all<br>
<br>
Apologies for the cross-posting, and the sombre content. Some of
you will already know that a year ago Heike Jensen passed away.
Heike was a stalwart of Giganet, the Gender DC and other civil
society work at the IGF, and the GigaNET community in the crucial
early years. Her involvement and contribution goes back to the
WSIS e.g. Heike contributed to the Joergensen edited volume (2006)
on Human Rights in the Global Information Society, reporting for
Freedom House and others and being part of IGF meetings through
the Gender DC and Giganet symposia. <br>
<br>
The last time Heike was at the IGF was Sharm el Sheikh I think,
though she may also have been in Nairobi. In recent years she
devoted herself to other work from her (new) homebase in Munich
where she was very happy after adjusting from the move there from
Berlin. <br>
<br>
Heike was a wonderful person, a great researcher and advocate as
her partner below reminds us. I, for one, have missed having her
take part in recent years but I will miss her for the years to
come at this anniversary. <br>
<br>
Just thought some of you would like to know of her passing if you
did not already. <br>
<br>
best<br>
