Ofcom consultation on draft guidance: A safer life online for women and girls

Every single day, young women and girls worldwide are subject to gender-based violence online. The scale of online abuse against women and girls is devastating: in Scotland, 27% of young women aged 16–24 report having experienced online violence. As Scotland’s national organisation for young women and girls’ leadership and rights, The Young Women’s Movement welcomes the opportunity to respond to Ofcom’s consultation on their draft guidance for tech companies on reducing the risk of harm to women and girls using their platforms.
