Event organised by Osez le Féminisme, the European Women’s Lobby, and its French coordination (CLEF).
Join us our peer-learning webinar where we will explore the urgent issue of cyber violence against women and girls and work together to build safer digital spaces for all.
This webinar brings together experts and activists to share strategies, highlight challenges, and shape bold policy solutions at the EU level.
Through engaging discussions, we will unpack the growing threats women face online, including non consensual sharing of intimate images (NCII), pornography, child sexual abuse and grooming, online sexual harassment, cyberstalking, and misogynistic hatred. We will explore how legal frameworks and digital platforms can better protect women and girls everywhere.
The fight against cyber violence against women and girls (cyberVAWG) is a fight for equality, for democracy, and for the future of a free and inclusive digital world.
