I think the rule of thumb should be "that which you can't do offline should not be done online" On Fri, May 29, 2020, 5:09 PM David Indeje via kictanet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

Dear Listers,

We hope everyone has had a great week, zooming, Facebooking, Googling, Skyping, Meeting among other great digital tools that have enabled us keep in touch with each other.

However, how many of us are aware of the flip side of embracing all these useful tools which is online violence against women and girls?

Ms. Cecilia Maundu, in our weekend read, describes: Online violence as "a global virus" "that is threatening the “digital citizenship” of women making it extremely hard towards efforts being made in closing the digital gender divide.."
