33 percent of women aged 35 or younger stated that they had experienced sexual harassment online before compared to just 11 percent of men in the same age group female politicians and journalists who often publicly voice their opinion or especially at risk one 3rd of all women journalists who have been targeted by hateful online complaints have thought about switching professions what is it like to experience online hate speech and what are the impacts we ask women who speak their mind online i was the target of many. and harassment complaints online i have often been at the receiving end of incessant online trolling from people who disagreed with me on my reports so you know it kind of started with the facebook death threats and then it kind of became this massive harassment case where i would get a lot of comments under my article and people would just disgusts me on the fly as if you know i didn't exist and discuss the many ways of you know how they would

like to rape me or have make you know or you know the things that they would do to me 3 women who have encountered abuse harassment and threats online these experiences have real consequences for the women who are targeted it must be very hard to be resilient and continue to speak up my colleague manoora charge really has been working as a journalist for 6 years currently for w. stanley office she's active on twitter and her reports can easily be found online the more she reports on political issues the more she's targeted by online hate speech for fear of being told online there have been times when i have censored my parts in the been many other women journalists do the same in my opinion the online abuse the image on the street should be recognized as an attack on the freedom of speech and expression law enforcement agencies to be sensitized and sent and enough to identify these threats and take action also newsrooms across the country so thick. one's ability to make women journalists is safe and secure wherever they go

under political climate as a t.v. reporter many other children travels around delhi and the surrounding area recently she's been mostly reporting on the coronavirus pandemic but many have also covers controversial issues her gender still plays a role in how people react. as a woman that it's often believed to be quite 4 inches off my gender whenever i've been out in the field reporting while traveling to remote areas on reporting assignments i caught doing so that the believe i would say god with speed. with that has to be sometimes will be a sin so says i often carry the can affect us through with myself as well and why sablon within these aborted areas i want to be said my live location with a group of friends to my phone so people would know off my bit about. and i have to hide it easier than many other women journalists who face a barrage of online abuse on a daily basis many of them face death they make this a drip fed some social media for just setting that up and the attacks on not just

confined to the online would have been to both of them and journalists getting physically i pad and sexually harassed while out and reporting the current example are the firmest protests in india ongoing since 2020 which have also led to violence both online and offline here to women who engage with the issue and voice their opinion are specifically attacked online journalists ronna reported internationally about the demands of the striking farmers and ended up being targeted herself. ron are you busy renowned journalist working through its writing on issues surrounding terri and violence and political uprisings in india for the washington post and she does not shy away from criticizing indian prime minister narendra modi. your criticism of nona has been targeted by national student news at the beginning of february 1st of this on twitter and the kind of page massage. i mean threats abuse i have seen on my timeline in the last 2 days it's

something i have never witnessed before this is not intimidation i don't know what it was this tweet to unleash another round of online harassment reactions ranged from cartoon death threats to calls i had to leave the country. one week later ironically you spoke up about the hate speech being directed at her some days about others unbearable the last few days the death rate perhaps the abuse extended towards my family has been tiring and traumatizing online hate speech has very real impact on consequences on people's lives that extend far beyond the internet near optimal our work for our game is asians like women in news and the arab foundation for freedom and equality in lebanon as a journalist she's been targeted by aggressive online complaints before she says online hate speech is being used to teach ecclesia as a way to silence women so one way that is common also with other countries of the

word so in going to date women journalists all contra whatever they are doing or from stating an opinion is online harassment and unfortunately it's working for a lot of the time because we do not have offices and we do not have a system that protects women so since we do not have a system their online harassment is usually succeeding in silencing or intimidate equipment. the global me to move to encourage women all around the world to speak out about online harassment many women realized that the online abuse they faced was not an isolated incident now they're supporting each other in taking on hardline drugs. women are supporting women they've supported each other long before but now it's it's out there it's open from what i see.

what i see you've been on the streets during the war to sions the support between women women is getting much bigger and for one reason the awareness i don't get asked men is becoming bigger in society and that more women already courage to speak and these women will start to be the solicitor to speak will encourage other women to ski so the main the main support comes from women themselves this is also the case with indian journalist. she receives support my merely from other women journalists around the globe. one up front i use supporters on twitter is absolute gabler who told us about receiving death threats on facebook the azerbaijani journalist has been reporting on conflicts between azerbaijan and armenia and turkey she's been attacked online multiple times at one point the constant online abuse forced her to take a break i have to decorate my instagram account i have to deactivate my facebook account and i have to lock my twitter account to limit the i have my twitter

because it was there so my friend coming from her everywhere taking a break from the internet can be a good way to gain some distance from the abuse because hate speech can make you ill psychologically and physically but it's not always possible for women to just ignore the online world this is especially true for female politicians a study by amnesty international india states that the more visible a politician is the more abuse she receives the human rights organization had analyzed tweets directed at 95 indian female politicians and found that every 7th message was offensive or abusive. the german news magazine recently found that 64 percent of women in the german parliament have been targeted by hate speech most of it online and in europe 58 percent of all women who participated in the survey had encountered threats and abuse on social media on the whole women across the globe face much heavier attacks the men when you talk about us and against women we talk

about blackmailing we talk about invading privacy we talk about sexual harassment these type of harassment are not experienced by men clearly there are huge differences in how women are targeted as opposed to men what can women do as i have to learn how to cope with the hateful messages now she gives advice to other women in online courses 1st of all. try not to drown and that hate because once you start reading you want to read more and then friends that sending you things and you just really need more and it really impacts your health your mental health your physical health. another thing i recommend is have a you know be open about this 1st of all you're not the only life face a misstep or pressman's there are so many other women and there are other

organizations that help these women. to process this to address it and also probably do something about it. make sure that there is a support mechanism that you can go to or you can even ask your friends take over your social media accounts because. you really need to know that you have a support mechanism you cannot handle this on your own. even if it's a minor consequence you can still for instance get that counsel spend it or you know find the person and reach out to someone at the company of social media platform company so what about the companies behind social media platforms why don't facebook and co adequately protect women from online hate speech the big social media firms like to point to freedom of expression when confronted with these questions but ever since former u.s. president donald trump's online accounts were suspended the guidelines on deleting

online hate speech seem to be changing well it's definitely a fine line between censorship and removing. hate speech content i think sometimes it is obvious what. electress and still social media platforms are not doing and it think about it. this is why i'm here and demands a multinational online platforms like twitter facebook instagram invest in more stuff to monitor online content and to employ people who can understand the cultural and societal specifics of different regions of the wild in order to adequately assess on one continent social media platform should invest in more people from within countries to give you the content so whenever i read a report on something it'll 1st of all it will take 48 hours or 3 days or a week the beauty of the 2nd thing to have more people from the region from lebanon or from jordan or from egypt because they really know the context of these so

whatever looks like something that does not violate the community standards of these platforms it's might actually put people at risk you know what countries what other rules that determine how we communicate with one another shouldn't the same rules apply online as well as. offline this would also mean prohibiting users from remaining anonymous if they abuse others online that's the only way to work towards tackling online hate speech against women what have your experiences been let us know on you tube facebook r.t.w. dot com that's all for me today by and see you next time.
