DIGITAL SELF-DEFENCE AND SELF-CARE WORKSHOP

Join our sisters at Glitch for a free one hour training workshop, hosting conversations about how women and non-binary people can protect themselves online

Who's this workshop for?

Many people avoid social media because they fear online abuse. Are you one of these people? Would you like the confidence and knowledge to share your voice on social media platforms? Then this one hour free online workshop is for you.

About this training workshop

The fear of online abuse is causing an exodus of women and non-binary people who are unable to take up their rightful space in online spaces. We want to enable you to have a happier, healthier relationship with the digital space, and this workshop will give you the tools and knowledge you need to do just that. 

In this one hour interactive session you will learn:

  • Types of online abuse and tactics to watch out for

  • Vital online safety techniques and strategies, including how to effectively document abuse

  • How to create your very own digital self-care plan that enables you to have a flourishing online presence without compromising your wellbeing

In 2019, 100% of our workshop participants reported gaining skills to be safer and more resilient online compared to just 18% before the training.
