GENDERED DIGITAL HARM
Hate, abuse, and harassment have become more
normalized in our digital lives, and women are
disproportionately impacted.
Research suggests that 1 in 5 women experience
online harassment in Canada. Those from
marginalized communities, including people who
are Indigenous, Black, living with disabilities, and
2SLGBTQIA+, are more impacted.

advocating for change, and championing safety:

consent.
