Ethiopian Women Human Rights Defenders Network
@EWHRDNetwork
A network of human rights defenders dedicated to advance and promote the rights of women


I met with WHRDs from #Ethiopia earlier this week to discuss the gender-specific risks they are facing, and I heard about continued stigmatization, smearing and threats on social media platforms including @facebook, @instagram, @X & @tiktok_us. These companies must do better.



On 9 May 2024, the Ethiopian Human Rights Defenders Centre, the Ethiopian Women's Human Rights Defenders Network, and CIR will host a one day conference event on Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFGBV) in Addis Ababa.
