In today’s interconnected digital landscape, the internet has become an integral part of our daily lives. It offers access to a wealth of knowledge, connects us with friends worldwide, and provides a platform for creativity and self-expression. However, it is crucial to acknowledge that the digital world can also reinforce gender inequalities and widen the gender digital divide.
UN Women’s study of 51 countries reveals that 38% of women have experienced online harassment, but only one in four reported it to authorities. Nearly nine in 10 women chose to limit their online activity due to such harassment. Global and in South Africa, trafficking concerns persist as women face cybercriminals’ manipulation through fake online relationships.
Engaging in open dialogue with young women and girls about their online activities is of paramount importance. Alongside cybercriminal risks, they also face online bullying and other pressures from social media and digital platforms. Parents and mentors should discuss the risks without instilling fear but fostering open conversation. Encouraging responsible online behavior and minimizing potential risks is vital for girls to navigate the digital world safely and confidently.
