Women’s safety has always remained a priority for META and this time once again the company has launched two initiatives that are based on womens’ safety Online. These two initiatives include Online Safety Guide and Stop NCII (Non-consensual intimate images) to help users save themselves in this cyberspace. Online safety of women in Pakistan has always remained important for the social media giant.
Since the initiative is launched for Pakistan, the safety advisory is available in English and Urdu and the basic goal behind it is to boost digital literacy and share the responsible online behavior among users. In this way, the platform is looking to create safer online spaces for women to connect and express themselves without restraints. This initiative is designed via funding in collaboration with a global NGO partner —the UK Revenge Porn Helpline — to stop the sharing of non-consensual intimate images (NCII), often referred to as Revenge Porn.
Meta New initiatives for online safety of women in Pakistan
This safety guide is available at Meta’s Safety Centre. This initiative has become a part of the company’s efforts to equip and prepare users for the challenges of the modern digital world.
By updating ourselves regarding the online harassment issues, unwanted messages, and a range of fraudulent and criminal activities in the online space, many big problems can be ignored. Other than this, Meta also has some policies to take online violence against women which are also based on building awareness programs to empower women to defend themselves against evil people online.
This safety guide is available on all the Meta Platforms including Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp.
No doubt its a great initiative and is surely going to make big difference.
