One single act by a perpetrator can feature more than one form of online GBV like Suzan whose Ex-Boyfriend impersonated her & even went ahead to use her explicit images without her consent as the profile picture of the fake account. #SayNoToOnlineGBV #16DaysOfActivism

As we gear up for the 16 Days of Activism, we sadly note the number of women using the internet globally is 48% compared to 58% of men hence creating a 17% Internet user gap! (Source: ) #SayNoToOnlineGBV

Embracing #policies that are geared at bridging the global digital divide is equally important to embracing policies aimed at narrowing the digital gender gap in #Uganda

The internet & online violence experienced by women is a plausible act in UG which in most cases is ignored at personal, societal & policy levels yet it causes real and more harm & attacks, threats and intimidation to women than the offline GBV.

This is Day 13 of our #SayNoToOnlineGBV campaign. A good day for us to think of ways how one can ensure that a perpetrator of online GBV based in another Country and not the victim's country may be brought to book! #OrangeTheWorld #16DaysOfActivism #16Days
