In our mission to promote digital rights in the Philippines, FMA produces research and policy briefs to assess and guide policy-making. We augment this effort by conducting workshops with communities and organizing fellow advocates to join us in making a better Internet.

The Gender & ICT Program focuses on the intersection between ICT and gender rights and issues, including women’s use and access of ICTs and tech-related gender-based violence. The program also advocates for salient policies for womens’ rights online.

The Privacy Program advocates the right to privacy of citizens, which includes the right against unlawful surveillance. FMA conducts research and monitors policy developments related to privacy rights not only in the Philippines, but in a global context as well.

As internet use plays an important role in Philippine society, FMA works to ensure that internet governance is inclusive, democratic, and rights-based. The Internet Rights Program engages in issues such as meaningful access and free expression on the internet.
