Online harassment

Published on: May 26, 2019 10:53 PM

Sir: Unfortunately, online harassment in the form of stalking or sending inappropriate and offensive photographs or sending lewd messages is the most pervasive nuisance faced by everyone (especially by women) across all social media platforms.

We must understand that such acts of sublime male-chauvinism (considering every other woman as an available proprietary) are unwittingly creating an environment of harassment for our female companions.

There are many ways to counter attacks on social media. For instance, treating all such friend requests like every other vaguely uncomfortable social issues hovering around your shoulders like miniature dementours or one can always report such profiles to concerned authorities or block them or publicly shame them which would a better solution to such nuisance.

Given this world’s poor women protection laws, it’s about time that everyone should start behaving respectfully and make this digital place a better place to strike meaningful conversations and dignified dialogues.
