18 May 2022

20:15 - 21:15

Social media allows users to disseminate stereotypes about women and allow them to commit gender-based violence online. For example, women are subject to blackmail and negative memes, images and videos in digital spaces. As a result, they very often find digital spaces dangerous and uncomfortable to navigate. Hamleh center previously published research done by “mo’annafeh* network” which concluded that one third of Palestinian female youth are subject to violence and harassment on internet and social media, and also that one out of every four women deletes their accounts as a result of violence and harassment. Therefore, this session will explore secure digital spaces from a feminist perspective. *mo’annafeh can be translated as “female victims of violence”.
