MIGS is proud to announce the publication of an Anthology of Project Results- Staying Safe Online, created in the framework of the project ‘Staying Safe On-line: Gender and Safety on the Internet’ realized by three organizations – Mediterranean Institute of Gender Studies from Cyprus, Fundacja Feminoteka from Poland and Gender Studies, o.p.s. from the Czech Republic. The two-year international project was co-funded by the Daphne III Programme run by the European Commission.
The main aim of the project was to bring in the gender perspective on cyber-bullying and other forms of violence within cyber space. The gender dimension is absent in most of the current research papers and studies on the issue. “Staying Safe Online” incorporated and emphasized the gender perspective through research, campaigns and promotion of helplines and support services available to provide gender-sensitive support to victims.
In this anthology we offer a package of project materials, research results, campaigns, and in particular good practices in different formats and contents, from three different countries: Czech Republic, Poland and Cyprus.
A report is also provided of the international conference Gender-based Violence and Safety in New Media held in Cyprus together with current recommendations resulting from the conference sessions and discussions.
The aim of this anthology is to offer gender-sensitive data and a different perspective on one of the world’s biggest current issues i.e. violence and its manifestations in the virtual world – the world that should have the same rules and laws, where human rights should be undisputedly universal for everyone.
We hope that you find this publication an inspiration on a personal level or useful in research, educational work and activism in the field of gender-based violence.
