Online hatred against women is rising and amplifying gender tensions in real life situations, the head of the United Nations division for women in Europe and Central Asia told Euronews as she warned about an increasingly hostile environment for young girls and women.
“Digital violence is real violence”, Belén Sanz, Director for UN Women for Europe and Central Asia, told Euronews. “Women and girls experience it, and it has tremendous consequences because it takes out the voice of women, their rights, and their choices”, she added.
