KA210 ADU - SafeSteps: Amplifying Women’s Voices Against Digital Violence

Digital violence, such as cyberbullying, harassment, and online abuse, disproportionately affects women in various digital contexts, including social media, professional platforms, and messaging apps. SafeSteps empowers women to reclaim their digital spaces through tailored education, creative expression, and advocacy. By focusing on both prevention and recovery, the project fosters safer, inclusive, and supportive online environments.

Digital violence silences women, perpetuates systemic inequalities, and limits their participation in critical online spaces. Addressing this issue is essential to ensure that digital platforms become inclusive environments where women can engage safely, confidently, and equally. Empowering women in the digital realm not only promotes justice but also fosters innovation, diversity, and societal progress, benefiting communities as a whole.
