Online abuse is not a trivial issue, it is a growing human rights concern that demands urgent action. Every day, countless individuals, especially women and girls, are targeted with threats, image-based harassment, cyberstalking, hate messages, and coercive content that leave deep emotional and psychological scars. What happens online does not stay online; its impact follows victims into their daily lives, affecting their safety, dignity, and well-being.
As advocates for a safer society, we must recognize that the digital world is now one of the major frontlines in the fight against gender-based violence. Online abuse is real abuse, and it should be treated with the same seriousness as any other form of violence. We must push for stronger reporting systems, educate communities about digital rights, and empower survivors to speak up without fear of shame or blame.
During this 16 Days of Activism, let us raise our voices and demand accountability from perpetrators, online platforms, and institutions. Let us challenge the culture that normalizes cyberbullying and silence. Let us ensure that no one faces online violence alone.
Advocacy is a collective responsibility — and together, we can transform the internet into a safer, more respectful space for all.
