including online harassment, cyberstalking, and gender-based violence faced by
women. Also she explained the opportunities for empowering women in cyberspace
through digital literacy, online communities and Policy reforms, so that we can
create a safer, more inclusive online environment for women.
The key point delivered

empowerment in cyberspace through networking, community development and
advocacy. Finally, this talk contributed significantly to advance gender equity
