Digital Rights Across the Global Majority

The DRLT documents digital rights litigation from the Global Majority; regions where digital governance is emerging at the intersection of law, politics, infrastructure, and power. While digital rights are often defined through Global Minority paradigms, we shift the lens to highlight how communities in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and the Pacific are shaping and being shaped by legal struggles over data privacy, surveillance, platform accountability and more.

While our primary focus is on the Global Majority, we also include several cases from the Global Minority. This reflects a deliberate effort to highlight cases from diverse geographies. By doing so, we aim to contribute to a more complete and representative body of knowledge, one that brings visibility to regions and legal systems that are often underrepresented in global digital rights discourse.
