More than 200 prominent women signed an open letter calling for big tech companies to “prioritise the safety of women”.
Posted on the World Wide Web Foundation, the letter coincided with the Generation Equality Forum in Paris, which brought together governments, businesses, international organisations and civil society to make progress towards achieving gender equality. During the forum, Facebook, Google, TikTok and Twitter released commitments to improve the safety of women online, including providing easy navigation and access to safety tools and reducing the amount of abuse they see.
The letter emphasised the need for giving users greater control to manage their safety online, including who can interact with them and more choice on what, how and when they see content online. It also called for improving systems for reporting abuse.
