It's never your fault<\/strong><\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

If you've experienced any form of online violence, it\u2019s important to remember that this is never your fault. Online spaces should be safe and respectful environments for everyone and it is not your responsibility to prevent or tolerate any form of abuse<\/strong>. No one has the right to compromise your safety and dignity, whether in the physical world or online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stop all communication<\/strong><\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

When confronted with online violence, the immediate reaction should be to cease all communication with the aggressor<\/strong>. This can be a challenging step, especially if the perpetrator is someone you know or have trusted in the past. Block them across all platforms where they could potentially reach you \u2013 social media, email, and even your phone. It\u2019s a significant step towards reclaiming your safety and preventing further abuse.<\/p>\n\n
