Understanding Online Gender-Based Violence in Cambodia

Online gender-based violence (OGBV) is one of the fastest-growing forms of violence against women and girls in the digital age. As technologies evolve and the use of social media platforms expands, so do the spaces where women’s bodies, voices and identities are policed, harassed or silenced. The largest international survey to date, conducted by Plan International in 2020, found that 58% of young women and girls have experienced some form of online harassment.
