\u201cThe ease with which discrimination and violence have spilled over from real life into the online world is shocking, leaving unimaginable consequences for the victims. Most often, someone protected by anonymity deliberately destroys another person\u2019s life \u2014 and mostly without consequences,\u201d said Commissioner for the Protection of Equality, Brankica Jankovi\u0107, at an event organized as part of the \u201cShe Won\u2019t Stay Silent\u201d initiative by the editorial team of Ona.rs, in support of women exposed to harassment and violence on the internet.<\/p>\n
At the panel \u201cIs Online Violence Real Violence?\u201d, Jankovi\u0107 emphasized that the victims of online violence are most often women, including very young girls, showing that the digital world has become a space where patriarchy and misogyny are expanding. \u201cWe can only put a stop to this together \u2014 by not staying silent, but fighting with every available tool – through laws, education, campaigns, and dialogue,\u201d the Commissioner stated. On that occasion, she also reminded attendees of the initiative launched by the Commissioner\u2019s institution to introduce unauthorized use of photos and videos on the internet as a specific criminal offense.<\/p>\n
The event was opened by Sandra Subotin, editor-in-chief of Ona.rs portal, and the panel featured Dragana Rado\u0161evi\u0107, Project Manager at AFA, Jelena Radovi\u0107, sociologist and expert in digital communications, Sanja Pavlovi\u0107 from the Autonomous Women\u2019s Center, Kristina Cveti\u010danin Kne\u017eevi\u0107, sociologist and influencer (Feminism from the Gym), and Marija Savi\u0107, Manager of the Intesa Foundation. The panel was moderated by Nina Gavrilovi\u0107, social media content specialist.<\/p>\n\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
