Online Safety Summit

Online Safety Summit

Women are vulnerable to online security breaches and sexual harassment. Whether it’s a troll or an eve teaser, online or offline women remain easy targets. The challenges are many and identified but the solutions are yet few, and imperfect. Speaking out is not easy when you don’t know who the abuser is just like identifying an eve teaser Is difficult in a crowd. But the time has come to stop being helpless. Online safety is the need of the hour. Online Safety Summit for Women powered by SheThePeople.TV is an attempt to get all stakeholders together and explore a consolidated approach to safety. A scaled effort, that will build on experiences, lessons, of varied organisations to reflect on the future that’s ahead of us. Many women are told they must accept just that: If you don’t like the way you’re being treated online, you should log off. Or often they deal with the vagueness that the police wanted to help—but there was a clear lack of understanding. The summit will focus on noting the risks of identity exploitations, financial risks, emotional harassment, awareness, knowledge and education, policy and law and enforcement. SheThePeople.TV will produce a set of detailed long form papers as a follow up to the summit and share the same with the Ministry of Women and Child Development and other government bodies.
