Youth group in Chipinge wants everyone from tech companies to regular people to actually deal with online harassment that keeps hitting women and girls. Platform for Youth and Community Development dropped a statement during the 16 Days of Activism campaign, saying digital abuse became another layer of violence they have to fight besides physical attacks and mental health crises.
The org runs programs with traditional leaders to stop child marriages and works in schools, handling bullying situations like what went down at Katanga High School. They launched an EndDigitalViolence Campaign that teaches online safety and pushes for cyber harassment laws while training parents and teachers on internet stuff. PYCD said tech platforms should help people instead of becoming weapons and that everybody needs to step up because collective action beats violence better than anything else.
