We advocate for legal and policy reforms across Africa to protect the rights of individuals and communities increasingly targeted by digital surveillance and spyware technologies. As governments expand their use of intrusive tools under the guise of national security, fundamental rights to privacy, free expression, and association are being eroded.

In Kenya, the situation is equally alarming. Authorities have come under fire for deploying surveillance technologies such as Pegasus spyware to monitor journalists, human rights defenders, and political activists. Similarly, In Tanzania, growing government control over the internet and social media platforms has raised serious concerns about freedom of expression and digital rights. Documented cases show the use of spyware and monitoring tools to intimidate, track, and silence citizens for voicing dissent regardless of the accuracy or legitimacy of their views.

Our work aims to address these abuses through legal reforms and policy advocacy, ensuring stronger protections for individuals and organizations at risk of digital surveillance and spyware attacks.

In partnership with civil society organizations, legal experts, and digital rights advocates across Africa, we are committed to ensuring stronger protections for those most at risk of spyware-related harm.
