Big tech companies might be the focus when it comes to addressing online gender-based violence— but many small pioneering companies put safety at the centre. #OGBV #TFGBV #TFVAW techlab.webfoundation.org/ca… #CSW67

@sandraacenga: Online GBV is not something that is recognized as a form of GBV and there is a lack of definition esp. in terms of forms and types. There is no uniformity. This needs to be tackled and considered.
