Hi, my name is Felicia Antonio, I am Campina and it's my job to track

international downs around the world. I live in Accra, the capital of Ghana. Welcome to my home.

When I'm out of Accra, what I miss most is the food. This is the spiciness of the food and

sleep when we eat it in the morning. It keeps us very active and we go through the day.

I work for Access now at Global Non-Prophage Organization. Our mission is to

defend and extend digital rights of users. On a typical day, I first of all would

check my emails or my phone. There are contacts that may reach out to me,

reports in a shutdown and they confirm that last night or since this morning

we've been planning a protest. We have upcoming elections or maybe the

conflict book out in this area. So once a shutdown is confirmed, the next thing

to do is to raise awareness, elect a world to know that this is what is

happening. It's not a campaign for a selected few but it's a campaign for

everyone that uses the internet. Anyone that believes in their power of the

internet, anyone that believes that I can use the internet to get my voice

out today or get my wig done or get my education done. Whatever you use the

internet for, you have a duty and a responsibility to join the fight against

internet shutdowns.

Welcome to the shutdown on the BBC World Service. In these programs we're

investigating why governments shut down the internet. I'm Beatrice Pickup,
