Online Violence

Online Violence (or online abuse) can take many forms, including:

• Threats of violence: Direct and indirect threats of physical or sexual violence.
• Violations of privacy: Sharing private images without consent, or [[Doxxing]].
• Discrimination: Targeted content based on identity (sexist, racist, etc.).
• Online harassment: Sustained, coordinated attacks aimed at humiliation.

It occurs across social media, messaging apps, blogs, and comment sections. While experienced by all genders, women’s experiences often mirror offline discrimination and sexism.
