Fighting for the #WebWeWant. Founded by Rosemary Leith and Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the web.
About us
We work for digital equality. This means first ensuring everyone, everywhere has access to the web. And, once connected, that they can use it to improve their lives. The World Wide Web Foundation was established in 2009 by Web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee to tackle the fundamental obstacles to realising his vision of an open Web available, usable and valuable for everyone. The Web is the most powerful tool for communication in the history of humanity, creating the potential for all people to participate in building a more peaceful and equitable world. However, only a small minority of people – mainly urban, male, and affluent – are part of the Web’s global conversation. Despite the recent surge in mobile Internet access, nearly two-thirds of the world’s people (mostly in the developing world) are still not connected at all. And once connected, what people are able to do on and with the Web is increasingly threatened by government controls, as well as by certain commercial practices. The Web Foundation seeks to establish the open Web as a global public good and a basic right, ensuring that everyone can access and use it freely. The Web Foundation is unendowed and relies on charitable donations and partnerships to carry out its work. It is a registered 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit in the USA, and has hubs in London, Jakarta, Cape Town and Washington, DC.

Globally, 85% of women have witnessed online violence against women, and 38% have been personally targeted. This has serious consequences for the women targeted and also for wider democracy. We are creating a movement to drive change on Online Gender-Based Violence.
