Here is a powerful, comprehensive guide for digital self-care and allyship from one of our leading activists for online equality, Seyi Akiwowo. Digital spaces are a positive force for change, connection and community, but left unregulated, they are not always safe. Globally, women are 27 times more likely than men to be harassed online. This is worse for Black women who are 84% more likely to face online abuse than white women. There has been a 71% rise in online disability abuse and 78% of LGBTQ+ people have experienced hate speech online. 'How to Stay Safe Online' is an urgent, comprehensive guide to navigating social media and online abuse, touching on the tensions between cancel culture, accountability and the concept of freedom of speech which will teach you how to spot, respond to and proactively defend yourself from online abuse and learn how to be a good ally to those experiencing it.
