‘Beyond The Screen: Hidden Voices of Online Abuse’ is a survivor-centered short film highlighting the prevalence of online sexual violence around the world. Four individuals share their experiences and demands for what urgently needs to be done to protect children online.
The film showcases the powerful truth that violence, which might start in an online sphere, negatively impacts children in the physical world, such as bullying in school or acts of sexual violence perpetrated at home.
This is an escalating crisis. Help us raise awareness by hosting a screening of “Beyond the Screen: Hidden Voices of Online Abuse” in your own community.
