Cyberstalking, doxxing, impersonation and online sexual harassment are forms of digital abuse. 🚫
Stop dismissing them as jokes. Report harmful behaviour safely and support those affected without blaming them. 💛

Survivors need more than a report button. They need privacy, timely responses, support services and confidence that their concerns will matter.

Technology should empower women and girls, not expose them to harassment, threats or humiliation. Digital platforms must make safety a priority.

Young people can lead the change by promoting respect online, reporting abuse and supporting peers facing digital gender based violence.

Online abuse is real abuse. Platforms must act faster on threats, harassment and image-based abuse. Protect survivors, remove harmful content and hold perpetrators accountable.

Don’t make survivors fight the system twice. Reporting digital violence should be simple, confidential and survivor-centred. Platforms and institutions must do better.

Social media companies: safety cannot be an afterthought. Invest in stronger reporting tools, rapid response and meaningful accountability for digital gender-based violence.#SafetyBeyondTheScreen

Young people can transform online culture by rejecting harassment, calling out harmful behaviour and creating communities built on respect and safety.

Survivors deserve clear information about their options and timely assistance. Stronger coordination can ensure support does not end after reporting abuse.

“Block and move on” cannot be our entire response to TFGBV. Blocking can be useful, but it does not address accountability, systemic failures or the conditions that allow abuse to continue

Digital safety should not mean women and girls constantly changing their behaviour to avoid perpetrators. We need safer digital environments, stronger accountability and meaningful support.#SafetyBeyondTheScreen

Let us never normalise threats simply because they happen online. Digital abuse can have serious consequences in the physical world.

We should stop measuring digital violence only by what happens on the screen. We also need to ask: What happens to the person after they put their phone down?#SafetyBeyondTheScreen

Women and girls deserve to learn, work, organise and express themselves online safely.
Social media platforms must act against gender-based harassment and protect their right to participate freely in digital spaces.
