Message From the Founder
At a time when violence is rapidly evolving across digital spaces, there is an urgent need to protect women, youth, and marginalized communities from new and complex forms of harm. I founded the Gender-Based Violence Digital Rights & Research Network (GBV-DRRN) with a vision to build safer, more equitable, and more respectful societies, both offline and online. Through research, education, and community engagement, our mission is to empower individuals, challenge harmful norms, and strengthen digital safety. Together, we can create a future where every person, regardless of gender or background, can live, learn, and connect without fear.
