Global Citizen,
Did you know that 85% of women reported witnessing online violence, and nearly 40% have experienced it personally?*
Digital violence includes online harassment, demeaning slurs, abuse and non-consensual use of personal images in a sexual context. Women, girls, members of the LGBTQ+ community are most likely to be subjected to this form of violence. The aftermath is psychological and emotional distress.
Due to the limited services made available to victims of digital abuse, UNFPA, the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency, has launched bodyright, the first-ever copyright for human bodies.
Governments, tech companies, and social media platforms must acknowledge their role in fighting online violence.
Support the #bodyright movement to demand change and accountability by adding your voice to this petition.
