Youth For Change Bangladesh Tackles Digital Violence Against Women

On 10 December 2025, Youth for Change Bangladesh Foundation (YFCBD) organized the “Orange the Web: UNITE to End Digital Violence Against All Women and Girls” campaign at the Department of CSE, Jahangirnagar University. Held under the ECSAGE Project, with support from FON-CREA and Agence Française de Développement (AFD), the campaign aligned with the global 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. It addressed the growing risks faced by women and girls online, highlighting how harassment, cyberstalking, and harmful gender norms continue to impact safety, freedom, and dignity in digital spaces.

The campaign brought together students, young women, teachers, youth clubs, entrepreneurs, and gender experts to strengthen awareness and digital safety skills. Participants engaged in The Digital Pulse live polling, a creative flashmob advocating online safety, and the interactive Rope of Digital Violence activity illustrating the emotional burden of digital abuse. The expert panel discussion, “Beyond the Click: Impact, Insight, and Action,” further explored the forms, impact, and prevention of digital violence, emphasizing the need for inclusive and accountable online communities.

Participants left with a renewed commitment to protect the digital rights of women and girls and to work toward safer, more inclusive online spaces. The conversations, reflections, and shared experiences throughout the session highlighted the power of collective awareness and youth-led action in challenging digital violence. Together, we continue moving toward a future where everyone can engage online with confidence, dignity, and freedom. 🧡✨
