Digital Violence Against Women and Girls

Digital violence is real—and it affects many women and girls, including refugees.

Women and girls are sometimes pressured online, threatened, or asked for photos or videos. Some face blackmail or sexual exploitation on social media, messaging apps, or online platforms. These acts cause fear and harm, but you are not alone, and help is available.

If you experience digital violence, you have the right to seek support. UNHCR and partners offer confidential psychosocial support, legal information, and safe spaces.
