A website is not done just because it has gone live. It needs updates, backups, renewals, security checks, and someone responsible for it. Read more: drapari.com/a-website-should… #WebsiteDesign #WebHosting #ICTSupport

Digital security could be a plague to our lives, however increased efforts to accelerate up-skilling of the vulnerable persons will definitely leverage them from the dilemma! @IvanPinno @dhrlab @DliDigital @digisec_init @uganda_digital – at Abim, Uganda

Women who have attempted to report NCII and online violence to the Police Services are often defeated by the publicity, the shame and the challenges of navigating the criminal justice system #SayNoToOnlineGBV #16DaysOfActivism #16Days #16DaysofActivism2020

The non-consensual sharing of intimate images can be used as a tool of power and control in the context of domestic and family violence or sexual abuse @encryptUg. #SayNoToOnlineGBV

The consent of the victim must relate not only to the making of the image, but also to the publication or dissemination of this image to the public. #SayNoToOnlineGBV #16Days #OrangeTheWorld

The non-consensual sharing of intimate images can affect anyone, but to a larger extent, it victimizes women and girls. It can have a serious impact on victims, including psychological injury and trauma, or a loss of reputation and unemployment @encryptUg #SayNoToOnlineGBV

Karamoja Rights Advocates Network@KaramojaRights27 Nov 2020
Men are also harassed online, but when women are the target, online harassment quickly descends into sexualized hate or threats. Online gender-based violence is an overt expression of the deeply rooted gender inequalities in our society.
