Digital Violence is Violence

According to the Economist Intelligence Unit, 85% of women reported witnessing online violence, and nearly 40% have experienced it personally*.

Women and girls, minorities and the marginalized are most likely to have their images abused online, subjected to slurs and demeaning non-consensual sexual acts. 

This rising tide of misogynist hate and violence is devastating for those who experience it. Yet it is ignored by tech companies and policymakers who continue to place greater value and protections on copyright than they do on human beings and our rights online. 
 
This is why UNFPA, the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency, is launching bodyright, the first “copyright” mark for human bodies.
