Manual on Online Gender Violence and its Impact on the Lives of Women and Girls

The Inter-American Commission of Women (CIM) and Cybersecurity Program of the Inter-American Committee against Terrorism (CICTE), within the Organization of American States, collaborated to update an earlier 2019 manual of information, tools and strategies for countering online gender-based violence. The manual can be used by capacity builders to better understand the phenomenon of online gender violence, how it manifests and what are some response strategies.

The aim was to spread knowledge about gender-based violence online and provide information and tools to help build a cyberspace that is safe for all. For that purpose, the manual contains recommendations, advice, and resources for women and girls who use the Internet, survivors of online violence, staff who are experts in providing services to victims of violence, civil servants, and persons with ties to the cybersecurity sector.
