The internet, once a space for connection and creativity, has become a source of fear for many.
Every day, people face harassment, fraud, and cyberbullying that threaten their safety and silence their voices. Studies show that women experience more gender-based abuse online, and our independent research found that 43.9% of respondents have been bullied or threatened digitally.
At our organization, we believe everyone, especially women and girls, deserves a safe and empowering online experience. Through our SHE-TECH Program, we also train women on digital safety and responsible online behavior. During the program’s Online Safety session, participants shared real stories of cyberbullying, hacked accounts, and online scams. They were trained to recognize these online threats and how to protect themself online.
We did not stop there to extend their impact, we launched the SHE Leads the Way project.
We encouraged participants to extend this knowledge beyond the session by becoming advocates for online safety through the “SHE Leads the Way” project. By sharing what they learned, they can help others stay informed, protected, and empowered in the digital space.
Each group identified and focused on a different demographic, tailoring their approach to reach and educate their chosen audience effectively.
Some educated market women using flyers and placards written in Yoruba and Pidgin; others visited churches, mosques, and schools to teach online responsibility and cyberbullying prevention. Another group reached the digital audience through a video podcast, The Safety Net, which explores issues of online harassment and digital wellbeing.
This project transformed every participant from a learner into an advocate. Each woman now uses her voice to raise awareness on issues that matter to her, championing online safety and digital responsibility within her community.
Creating safer online spaces is a shared responsibility that requires ongoing advocacy and education. Our organization remains committed to supporting women to become changemakers both online and offline, believing that every woman who gains knowledge becomes a beacon of knowledge, safety, and empowerment for her community.
