    Digital Violence
    Dec 12 2022
    In this first episode, we take a look at digital violence and how the Internet can be a hateful, hostile place, particularly for women, girls, racial and ethnic minorities, LGBTQ+ and other marginalized communities. We explore the extent to which digital violence is prevalent in the East and Southern Africa Region. In the past few years, with the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, 85 percent of women have experienced or witnessed digital violence. Digital violence, which is prevalent, repetitive, perpetual and pervasive, violates a person's privacy, dignity, autonomy and rights and it can be devastating.

    This episode highlights the need to end cyberstalking to hate speech and the non-consensual use of images and video, such as deepfakes. When someone infringes on music or film copyright, digital platforms remove the content immediately.

    Governments have passed laws making copyright infringement illegal and digital platforms have devised ways to identify and prevent the unauthorized use of copyrighted material. UNFPA calls for the same protections and repercussions must also extend to individuals and their photos.

    UNFPA calls for technology companies and policymakers to take digital violence seriously.

  • Welcome to Hear Her

    Welcome to Hear Her
    Dec 11 2021
    Hello and welcome to "Hear Her" the podcast of UNFPA, East and Southern Africa.

    With the global population recently reaching 8 billion, we can celebrate many signs of human progress; better health and longer lives brought us to this point.

    Yet a sobering reality is how uneven progress has been and how systematically violence against women and girls still robs so many of dignity, well-being and the right to peace.

    But we're making headway and there are some positive stories to tell.

    In this podcast, you will hear voices from all walks of life with a common vision of building a more just, equitable, and sustainable future we all design and creating a life of dignity, peace and wellbeing for each 10 year old child.

    We will be hearing from technical experts to humanitarians, artists, community leaders, and the youth on a variety of issues. We will cover a range of topics from growing online violence to the scourge of HIV AIDS, disability, and other critical sexual reproductive health and rights issues.

    Their voices matter and it is the heart of all we do at UNFPA as we adapt to a changing world. Twitter · Facebook · YouTube · Donate · Website
