Help Young Women Fight Back Against Online Harassment

Thousands of young women and girls in the US and around the world are being victimized, or have been the victim, of some form of online harassment.  While online harassment against young women and girls can take on many forms, the public humiliation and long term impact on the mental health of those victimized that results is typically the same or similar across the board.

From defamatory rumors spread online to cyberstalking, internet trolling, and social media cyberbullying, the ways in which young girls are being belittled and embarrassed on social media and other public channels has never been more apparent or appalling. Nor have the impact of such treatment on the lives of the victims ever been so real or evident.

Defamation Defenders, for instance, developed a proprietary process to help stop internet bullies in their tracks and have harassing comments and posts about young girls removed from the web.
