Hi,

Thank you for the reminder that it is not just gender prejudice and
violence against women on the Internet that we need to worry about but
also the plight of many of the LGBTQI  on the Internet in many
countries. Access, safe access, is indeed a critical issue.

Gender access statistics would be a good start.

Thanks for the reminder

avri
