CyberTips for Women

How can women protect themselves online?

• Use strong and unique passwords for each of your online accounts
• Be cautious about sharing personal information online, and avoid posting sensitive information
• Use privacy settings on social media to control who can see your posts and personal information
• Use a gender-neutral screen name or pseudonym for your social media accounts
• Cover your webcam and turn it off when not in use
• Don’t meet online acquaintances alone
• Block people you don’t want to interact with

 If you are the victim of online harassment or other forms of cyberbullying, report it to the relevant authorities and seek help and support from friends, family, or organizations that can assist you.
