Mass online reporting can help draw attention to harmful content and encourage platforms to review violations standards, evidence-based, and directed at content that genuinely violates the rules not used to target or silence people through false or coordinated complaints.

Some TFGBV perpetrators dismiss their actions as jokes, unaware or unwilling to acknowledge the harm they cause. Ignorance is not an excuse. Learn, take accountability, and stop online abuse! #WhoKeepsHerSafe #PolycomSpeaks #Gpende @polycomdev

Mercy Masika has been greatly bashed online, does that count as TFGBV?

Women will be safe in digital spaces when safety stops being a woman's responsibility to protect herself and start being everyone's responsibility

Survivors need more than an opportunity to report. They need timely action, confidentiality, clear feedback, access to justice, and support that does not expose them to further harm.

Survivors should be listened to without judgment mentality because the TFGBV is experienced differently
And avoid victimization.

Deepfakes and AI-generated intimate images add another dimension to online abuse. A person should not have to prove that a fabricated image is real before their distress and need for support are taken seriously. #PolycomSpeaks #WhoKeepsHerSafe #Gpende @polycomdev

AI can be used to manipulate images, create fake sexualised pictures, impersonate women, and spread harmful content without their consent .A woman鈥檚 face can be taken from an ordinary photograph and used to create fabricated images intended to shame, threaten, sexually exploit .

TFGBV silences women and girls from marginalized communities, denying them the freedom to speak, lead, and participate online. Digital spaces must be safe for everyone.

A public profile is not consent to harassment. Being outspoken, visible, a content creator or a woman in leadership does not give anyone the right to threaten or humiliate you online. #PolycomSpeaks #Gpende #WhoKeepsHerSafe @polycomdev

Social media platforms have a responsibility to address abuse on their services. Safety policies mean little if women cannot access meaningful protection. #WhoKeepsHerSafe #PolycomSpeaks #Gpende

Survivors shouldn't disconnect to feel safe. The responsibility lies with perpetrators, platforms stop abuse, protect survivors, ensure accountability both online and offline.

Survivors may disconnect temporarily for their psychological health, should not give up their digital lives to feel safe. Platforms must ensure accountability

Survivors should never be punished for the violence committed against them.They should not face victim-blaming, shameor pressure to stay silent while perpetrators escape accountability. The burden must be on those who cause harm馃挏 #WhoKeepsHerSafe ACCOUNTABILITY

As a survivor of TFGBV, make sure you collect evidence , screenshot , record and save so that it helps with investigation.

According to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), 38% of women globally have personally experienced technology-facilitated gender-based violence, while 85% have witnessed online violence against other women.This is alarming!

Ongoing conversation: women's safety online, but the question remains: WHO IS KEEPING WOMEN SAFE?
From cyberbullying to stalking, online harassment and image-based abuse, digital violence is real violence.
