About this training workshop
Black women are 84% more likely to be mentioned in abusive or problematic tweets than white women. Our Toolkit 2.0 it has been created and reviewed by experts to specifically help Black women and non-binary people who want to help end OGBV against Black women but may not know where to begin.
We campaign for both government and tech companies to implement systematic change, and raise awareness of online abuse so that we can make the online space safe for all. In the meantime, this workshop will enable participants to have meaningful and important conversations about OBGV.
In this one hour interactive session you will learn:
How OGBV impacts Black women
The ways in which you can use the Toolkit 2.0 for meaningful discussions
About the importance of digital self care and how to support Black women

About Glitch
Glitch is an award-winning UK charity ending online abuse and championing digital citizenship. We have a particular focus on women and marginalised people. We were founded in 2017 by then local politician, Seyi Akiwowo, after she received a flood of abuse when a video of her speech at the European Parliament went viral. Through training, research, workshops and community building, we're building an online world that is safer for all.
We focus our effort on three key areas: Awareness, Advocacy and Action.
