About this training workshop
Along with our friends at Glitch and Activate, we are hosting a session for you to come and ask any questions you might have. It will be a chance to connect with your community and share your concerns about online abuse.
This session gives you the opportunity to talk to a Glitch expert about your concerns. It allows you to get up to date advice with an understanding that being a woman in public life, and being online, presents a unique set of challenges.
You are welcome to join for any period of time you like during this drop in clinic.
Within the drop in clinic, we’ll discuss our free Digital Self-Defence and Self-Care toolkit and how it can help to equip you against online abuse. If you have any queries regarding our toolkit, please bring them along to the session.
