Protection against online violence and harassment “must be at the core of agreements coming out of this year’s CSW.” Dr Anne Burghardt opened the discussion by recalling that “at least one out of every three women worldwide will experience gender-based violence at least once in lifetime,” making it “one of the greatest violations of women and girl’s human rights.” That’s why protection against these new forms of online violence and harassment “must be at the core of agreements coming out of this year’s CSW” which is dedicated to innovation, technological change and education.
The 10 March event, entitled ‘Harnessing information and digital technology to fight gender-based violence’, brought together Lutheran leaders from Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America, who are on the frontlines of the struggle for gender equality and women’s empowerment in their local churches and national or regional contexts.
