Rubaroo is an organization that works with young people in and around Telangana. We do this by facilitating conversations and experiential learning processes.








Policies should mandate informed consent checks online. Children’s images must have extra protection because misuse cases are increasing. #ConsentInAdvocacy #RubarooWith16DaysOfActivism #EqualCommunityFoundation #1ActionForChange

Digital platforms must create stricter reporting tools for photo misuse. Clear national guidelines can support ethical, safe advocacy for all. #ConsentInAdvocacy #RubarooWith16DaysOfActivism #EqualCommunityFoundation #1ActionForChange

@RubarooHyd @ecfindia @otf_india @DevConsIndia @TheSafecityApp @AgentsofIshq This puts the onus of the work to be done to withdraw consent on the user themselves, and no accountability is expected from the digital platforms

@RubarooHyd @ecfindia @otf_india @DevConsIndia @TheSafecityApp @AgentsofIshq A related change is the unresponsive redressal mechanisms that digital platforms currently have. These mechanisms need to be both strengthened as well as simplified to make the process of giving or taking away digital consent easier.

@RubarooHyd @ecfindia @otf_india @DevConsIndia @TheSafecityApp @AgentsofIshq However, one must be able to withdraw their consent to be a part of the digital space at any time without any legal repercussions

@RubarooHyd @ecfindia @DevConsIndia @TheSafecityApp @tarshingo @AgentsofIshq This experience reaffirmed a hard truth: consent is not a one-time checkbox, it’s an ongoing responsibility. Ethical advocacy means protecting dignity long after the spotlight fades, and responding fast when narratives are misused. #ConsentInAdvocacy #RubarooWith16DaysOfActivism

@RubarooHyd @ecfindia @DevConsIndia @TheSafecityApp @tarshingo @AgentsofIshq About 2 years ago, our peer leader was featured in a global platform. We ensured all consent procedures. About 1 year after this, the random FB pages of her caste community picked her news. (n/1) #ConsentInAdvocacy #RubarooWith16DaysOfActivism #OTFWith16DaysOfActivism



Let's talk about #ConsentInAdvocacy #RubarooWith16DaysOfActivism @ecfindia @otf_india @DevConsIndia @TheSafecityApp @tarshingo @AgentsofIshq Q5: How does your team ensure consent is truly informed before sharing sensitive content online?

@RubarooHyd @ecfindia @otf_india @DevConsIndia @TheSafecityApp @AgentsofIshq Does sharing consent to posting pictures, for example, mean consent to receive comments from strangers on the post as well? Or consent for others to use those pictures in articles or opinion pieces?

@RubarooHyd @ecfindia @otf_india @DevConsIndia @TheSafecityApp @AgentsofIshq When it comes to personal stories, one challenge is striking a balance between digital advocacy and protection from harm. Organisations may have to zoom out to understand the risks that may come from making powerful statements about personal and sensitive information




@RubarooHyd @ecfindia @DevConsIndia @TheSafecityApp @tarshingo @AgentsofIshq ✔️ Written consent forms ✔️ Purpose and usage explained upfront ✔️ Parental signatures for minors ✔️ Informed consent from adults before photos or stories ✔️ Secure storage of all records #ConsentInAdvocacy #RubarooWith16DaysOfActivism
