MWAN National On #16daysactivism
Technology facilitated gender based violence, GBV has an impact beyond screens threatening women’s rights & safety both online & offline.
Despite their enormous potential, technology, digital tools & the internet have introduced new forms of oppression and violence for women & girls
Women in public eye face greater criticism online than their male counterparts. This undermines how women leaders are perceived.
Ways to prevent technology facilitated GBV
📍Spread awareness about cyber violence
📍Increase young people’s social media literacy
📍Provide women with ethical & safe digital services that prioritize privacy
📍Include women in tech design, legal reforms & decision making
