Meadow Walker Thornton-Allan Instagram – Why is online abuse a problem? This misogynist hate and devaluation of women online causes long-term psychological, emotional and physical distress. Nine out of ten women (92%) report online violence harms their sense of well-being and over a third (35%) have experienced mental health issues due to online violence. It also inhibits authentic self-expression and adversely impacts professional and economic livelihoods of people who depend on online and social media spaces. Take action with @UNFPA to #ENDviolence and join those saying NO to online abuse against women and girls. #MyBodylsMyOwn #Bodyright 🧡
