Online Violence Against Women Is Soaring, A New Report Finds

New research from the Dutch NGO Rutgers found that 38% of women worldwide reported personal experiences with online violence. Globally, one in three women—or 736 million people—have experienced violence of some sort, whether from an intimate partner, sexual assault, or both. Much of that offline violence is linked to online habits, according to a new report from Dutch NGO Rutgers, which was launched today at the Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland.
