Digital security could be a plague to our lives, however increased efforts to accelerate up-skilling of the vulnerable persons will definitely leverage them from the dilemma! @IvanPinno @dhrlab @DliDigital @digisec_init @uganda_digital
I've always loved getting more girls into the digital space and teaching them on how to remain safe while online

Cyber bullying scares & shames victims through frequent online messages. It can be an extension of offline bullying, as for Elena👇, or only take place online. Let's be kind & respectful. Let's #SayNoToOnlineGBV! #16Days

Women who have attempted to report NCII and online violence to the Police Services are often defeated by the publicity, the shame and the challenges of navigating the criminal justice system #SayNoToOnlineGBV #16DaysOfActivism #16Days #16DaysofActivism2020
Images or videos are in most cases distributed on the internet by former partners as an act of revenge or a result of rejection as you can See here with Rita’s story #SayNoToOnlineGBV @wougnet

The non-consensual sharing of intimate images can be used as a tool of power and control in the context of domestic and family violence or sexual abuse @encryptUg. #SayNoToOnlineGBV

The consent of the victim must relate not only to the making of the image, but also to the publication or dissemination of this image to the public. #SayNoToOnlineGBV #16Days #OrangeTheWorld

The non-consensual sharing of intimate images can affect anyone, but to a larger extent, it victimizes women and girls. It can have a serious impact on victims, including psychological injury and trauma, or a loss of reputation and unemployment @encryptUg #SayNoToOnlineGBV

@OtebaKMo @digisec_init @dhrlab @majidmaali @ayazikaphillip Generation equality Women must be respected both online and offline!
Men are also harassed online, but when women are the target, online harassment quickly descends into sexualized hate or threats. Online gender-based violence is an overt expression of the deeply rooted gender inequalities in our society.

Extremely grateful to @DefendDefenders for sponsoring the 21-day #SecurityOnWheels trip. It was fun-filled and had a positive impact on the digital safety and security of the grassroots organizations supported. We caught it all on camera 😍. Check it out👇 https://t.co/IFBZFLSuJp
For 21 days, @goleandrew traveled to remote grassroots #HRDs on his motorcycle to provide IT support: "If I have a skill that someone else needs to be safe, I am very happy to provide it." Read more about the software engineer turned HRD: https://t.co/zxk8jIH5Yl
