It is harmful, in every possible way.” – Girl Guide from Malaysia

The web has the potential to be a tremendous force for equality. 

But right now, the web is not working for women and girls. Billions can’t connect — women are far less likely than men to be online. And for many who are online, the web simply isn’t safe — 52% of young women and girls have experienced online abuse.

That’s why we’re adding our voice alongside thousands of others to call for action to end the crisis of online abuse and discrimination.
