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

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

[DIGITAL LITERACY INITIATIVE (DLI) @DliDigital]

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

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

[Encrypt Uganda | Redefining Digital Space @encryptUg]

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

[Cecile @Cecilia97N]

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
