Vicki and Geraldine speak to the founder of Glitch, the online charity campaigning to end hate speech online against women and girls with a particular focus on Black and minoritised communities.Talking points:When women become targets of online hate, why are they so often asked what they did to deserve it? Or told, ‘if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen'?Why are we tolerant of behaviour online that we would never accept offline, whether it’s actually illegal or not?How do we balance the need for self-care with not falling prey to the ‘get out of the kitchen’ narrative?Why do pepetrators of online misogyny do what they do?What hopes for a Code of Practice on hate speech against women and girls as an adjunct to the Online Safety Bill?Tech Shock is a Parent Zone production.
