Monitoring of online gender-based violence

Monitoring/Documenting online gender-based violence

KRYSS Network is a not for profit organisation that has observed and researched how there is unequal access to freedom of opinion and expression in Malaysia, particularly for women and marginalised communities. Our work, among others, focuses on ensuring safer online spaces for all peoples to freely express their lived realities, experiences, opinions and thoughts without threats of harassment and violence.

This survey aims to document cases of online gender-based violence as part of our effort to develop evidence and knowledge that could contribute to the elimination of online gender-based violence.
