Digital Abuse Response
The two networks of women lawyers working to combat digital violence against women and against women journalists in Jordan discussed ways to strengthen legal and media cooperation and improve protection, counseling, and safe referral during a consultative meeting in Amman. They also reviewed a glossary of digital violence terminology and adapted it to the Jordanian context. A study of 406 women journalists found that 58.9% had reduced their online activity, 49.3% had refrained from covering certain topics, and 39.7% had practiced self-censorship. Meanwhile, 26% had considered leaving the profession because of digital violence. Participants stressed that addressing these violations requires clear legal guidance, preservation of evidence, and safeguards for confidentiality and informed consent, so that those affected can seek redress without being exposed to further harm.
