AI isn’t always neutral. When used to create deepfakes, spread lies and amplify hate it becomes a weapon of gender-based violence. Defamation through AI targets women and gender-diverse voices, silencing and shaming them online. https://t.co/YyVlcA8KzE

Online abuse doesn’t stay online. Ethiopian women have faced assaults, arrests and threats after harassment on social media, some even forced to flee. Digital violence is real harm. #16Days #NoExcuse #ACTtoEndViolence #TeamEurope

For women with disabilities, the digital divide runs deep: first, barriers to get online; then, barriers to stay safe once there. True digital inclusion leaves no one behind. #NoExcuse #IDPD #16Days #ACTtoEndViolence #EUinEthiopia #TeamEurope

Online abuse targets identity. When gender intersects with ethnicity, race, or religion, the harm multiplies. Online hate is intersectional and intolerable. Ethiopian women deserve #DigitalEquality and dignity. #16Days #NoExcuse #ACTtoEndViolence #TeamEurope

Technology-facilitated GBV is real. It’s not just harassment. It’s doxing, death threats and hate speech. Digital spaces must not enable violence. #16Days #NoExcuse #ACTtoEndViolence #TeamEurope

Ethiopia’s 80+ languages reflect its diversity but also challenge digital safety. Without local languages, harmful content can spread unchecked. Women deserve better protection online. #16Days #NoExcuse #ACTtoEndViolence#TeamEurope Ref:

Studies conducted in Ethiopia indicate that “In Ethiopia, online abuse is so normalised it’s invisible.” When women speak out about their online abusers, they’re told to simply stay away from social media. Silence is not safety. It’s time to see it, name it, and end it. #16Days
