Women & girls face misogynist harassment & threats online, from strangers (blog commentors, etc.) and peers alike #orangeday
Lots of #violenceagainstwomen occurs online read more about how stalkers can use tech 2 stalk @SayNO_UNiTE #orangeday http://www.victimsofcrime.org/our-programs/stalking-resource-center/stalking-information/the-use-of-technology-to-stalk …-programs/s…
sexual harassment/rape survivors are often revictimized by posting of pictures/viideos of the incident online #orangeday #takebackthetech- Many girls & women have private photos shared across the Internet--sites like (now-defunct) Is Anyone Up? contribute to that #orangeday
In our mapping of online forms of #violenceagainstwomen, resulting harms range from physical to property http://bit.ly/Us79IB ayOrangeDay
@SayNO_UNiTE @takebackthetech @Circleof6app @schemaly Women gamers are constantly victims of gender based harrassment online. #cyberviolence- Women who speak up publicly - as journos or bloggers, often become targets of #VAW @elsamaths @SayNO_UNiTE @sagarikaghose @meenakandasamy

- Increasingly seeing violation of privacy, blackmail through photos as forms of online #violenceagainstwomen. True where you are? #OrangeDay
- Q2: Can legislation help deal with #cyberviolence? What else is needed? @takebackthetech @Circleof6app @schemaly #orangeday
@SayNO_UNiTE @takebackthetech @Circleof6app @schemaly #India's criminal amendment act 2013 has made cyber stalking a #women a crime- @SayNO_UNiTE @takebackthetech @Circleof6app @schemaly for more information about indian legislation: http://bit.ly/19jfKVc
- How to define legislation while balancing rights & able to respond to changing tech? @unwomenindia @SayNO_UNiTE @Circleof6app @schemaly
@SayNO_UNiTE @takebackthetech @Circleof6app @schemaly Would leg. help at the grassroots level? #cyberviolence is often global. #orangeday
@unwomenindia @SayNO_UNiTE while change in laws is a +ve step, change in people's mindset is the most imp #evaw #India #orangeday- .@Sangamwc Very good point! It becomes difficult to prosecute if it goes beyond State borders. #orangeday
Although controversial, US govt monitors phone calls 4 terrorism, but not for #VAW online. Priorities. (Not advocating for that) #OrangeDay- If your govt ratified #CEDAW, include tech related #violenceagainstwomen in the shadow reports-it's often invisible #OrangeDay @SayNO_UNiTE
- @SayNO_UNiTE @takebackthetech @Circleof6app @schemaly Too easy to hide on Internet for laws to be efficient. Education is the most important
- @micoune @SayNO_UNiTE @takebackthetech @Circleof6app @schemaly Agree that education is key! #orangeday
@SayNO_UNiTE A2: Yes we need appropriate legislation, but how to enforce? Internet is unregulated and global #orangeday @takebackthetech
