Words as Weapons: Women, Online Abuse, & the Fight for Digital Safety

  • Penguin Random House 1745 Broadway (between 55th & 56th Streets), Cerf-Lane Room New York, NY 10019 (map)

One in four American women have faced online harassment, and in some countries, this figure rises to a staggering 60% of female internet users. Women journalists, editors, and authors have long been on the front lines of harassment—and rarely get the chance to process it, name it, or strategize together. Our speakers—leaders across media and digital safety—will examine how gendered hate, disinformation, and surveillance shape public discourse and silence truth-tellers. They'll unpack the systems fueling this crisis—and explore how we can protect one another, reclaim our voices, and build safer digital spaces. They will share real tools for resistance, resilience, and repair. Register now to stand with other women in media demanding accountability, safety, and justice online.
