About the Webinar
Gender-based violence against women and girls remains a global threat to the public health of women and girls during emergencies. During the pandemic when all are confined in their home as a precautionary measure, restrictive movement imposed by the government, social and economic stress is high, the gender-based cyber violence against women and girls is increasing exponentially. The women and girls have been targeted online to induce, coerce, to intimidate or cause fear, anxiety, humiliation and extreme emotional distress. Women and girls are soft targets of the perpetrator of a crime, as they can easily be manipulated as compared to men.

- To highlight the main cause of gender based cyber violence.
