You are here: Home > World Wired Women World Wired WomenIn the early days of the Web, women had to proceed with caution. They were in the minority and were often targeted by cyberstalkers, scam artists and other predators. As women became more familiar with the technology, things began to change. Equality arrived in the guise of women cyberstalking men and each other and joining the ranks of the cyberabusers, not only the victims. But women are still targeted by sexual and harassing cyberabuses more than their male counterparts. The ratio is about 3:1, three female victims to every male one. While many safety and privacy tips apply equally to men and women, there are some situations that are unique to women and some tips that apply to their special vulnerabilities. To learn more, visit the UK site. Learn about how one of our volunteers fought back when she was conned by someone posing as a widower. There is no longer any reason why women can't be as safe online as men. Most of our senior executives here at WiredSafety.org are women, including our founder and executive director, cyberlawyer, Parry Aftab. If you need someone to speak to your community or women's group about women's online issues, let us know. We're happy to help. |
