Images or videos are in most cases distributed on the internet by former partners as an act of revenge or a result of rejection as you can See here with Rita’s story #SayNoToOnlineGBV @wougnet







Men are also harassed online, but when women are the target, online harassment quickly descends into sexualized hate or threats. Online gender-based violence is an overt expression of the deeply rooted gender inequalities in our society.
