How will the Online Safety Act help to protect women and girls? 🔒 Our research shows women and girls are disproportionately affected by certain illegal online harms - and they are more likely to be negatively affected by hateful and trolling content. That's why keeping women and girls' safety front of mind is crucial as we build a safer life online. Our upcoming plans will contribute to tackling online gendered harm, by: ➡️Setting out safety measures platforms can put in place to protect people from illegal harms such as intimate image abuse. ➡️Consulting on guidance for online services focusing on content disproportionately affecting women and girls. ➡️Building on existing media literacy work to support positive gender relations.

Families and homes should be safe spaces for everyone. Unfortunately, that is not so especially for many women and girls around. It is imperative that stakeholders, community leaders, governments, and institutions pay attention to, and work to ensure homes and families remain safe for women and girls. That is the surest way to win the war on GBV/VAWGs. Winning the war on GBV/VAWGs is the catalyst for world peace.

It's a heartbreaking and unacceptable reality that for far too many women and girls, their own homes and families are not the safe havens they should be. The statistics are truly staggering and disturbing. We need to prioritize women's empowerment and protection as an urgent priority for all nations. Addressing the scourge of gender-based violence, changing deeply-rooted patriarchal attitudes, and prioritizing women's empowerment and protection must be an urgent priority. No more women's lives should be cut short simply for being female. Homes must become the true safe havens they are meant to be for everyone. Families and homes should represent safety, love and security, especially for women and children who are so often made vulnerable by gender inequalities and power imbalances. But the reality is still an unacceptable distance from this ideal for millions globally.

Family is the first place to provide a safe place for women to grow. Violence against women can take many forms other than sexual and physical, emotional abuse, economic violence, and social violence. Usually violence start with one of the aforementioned forms before it ends with the physical violence that kills the women. Awareness on early signs on violence, well-trained police forces to deal with gender-based violence, established reporting mechanisms, specialized institutions to provide aid for women who don't have safe homes is a necessity not a luxury. Laws and policies should be responsive to secure safer environment for women. This can be done on so many levels. Ranging from raising awareness to young girls in schools how to report violence, to robust reporting mechanisms, and effective procedures to hold perpetrators accountable, all are linked and inseparable. We will discuss each in more detailed posts, with more data and information on the situation in Palestine, with focus on women's access to justice, and women in conflict with the law who are in trial or locked up in detention centers.

The news that Ottawa is beginning consultations on the creation of a public alert system for missing Indigenous women, girls and Two-Spirit people is hopeful. This is an initiative that we have advocated for and believe is imperative to the safety of Indigenous women, girls and Two-Spirit people. We hope that this can be implemented nationwide and with haste and include the consultation of survivors, frontline workers and families to find the best way forward. https://lnkd.in/gUUD6sH6
