Online misogyny can take many forms, from sexist comments and unsolicited messages to harassment and threats.
For many women, going online can feel like stepping into a space where opinions, achievements and even everyday experiences are met with hostility simply because they are women.
From sexist comments and unsolicited sexual messages to threats, harassment and coordinated online abuse, misogyny can take many forms. Social media can amplify these experiences, making it difficult to switch off from the negativity.
During Women’s Month, it is important to recognise that women should not have to leave online spaces simply because others choose to target them.
While no woman is responsible for the abuse directed at her, there are practical ways to protect your wellbeing, privacy and digital safety.
