Sessions
Participants will be empowered to understand, protect against, and respond to the evolving threat of online harassment that stifles freedom of expression, threatens livelihoods, and undermines equity. They will receive tips on navigating online abuse by learning about PEN America’s Online Harassment Field Manual, which has been adapted into Arabic for the Middle East and North Africa in partnership with the National Democratic Institute. Attendees will explore the unique challenges of online harassment in MENA, discuss best practices for individuals and organizations and will learn how to mobilize online communities to defend against online harassment.
