We're thrilled that @protonprivacy has made clear their commitment to privacy online by renewing their membership as a Green Onion! Thank you for supporting Tor and the work to make privacy accessible for everyone. 🧅 🔒 💚

We're #hiring a Product Designer! This position is part of a small, "full stack" design team, encompassing the disciplines of UX design, ethical user research, and brand design. One-year, remote, full-time with possibility of extension. https://www.torproject.org/about/jobs/

(And yes, we are reposting a blog post from 4 years ago, because sadly all of the key issues highlighted in it are still relevant TODAY!) https://blog.torproject.org/international-womens-day/

We remain strong in our commitment to provide vital tools for keeping women protected online – whether it is by allowing them to safely & anonymously access information about reproductive care, seek support to overcome domestic violence, or exercise their right to organize.

As people across social media celebrate International Women's Day, we'll use this day to give a shoutout to women who are organizing and working hard to protect and advance their rights! Much work still needs to be done as women's rights continue to be under threat globally!

Let’s be clear, the need for onion services, the use of privacy-focused browsers, and other forms of encryption to protect people's anonymity online still persists.
