January 15, 2014

January 15, 2014 – Online safety is a major concern for many survivors of domestic and sexual violence and stalking. We live in a data-driven world where even if we aren’t sharing our secrets, someone else is. For some survivors, the sharing of their personally identifying information, either by themselves or others, can be dangerous.

Check out our recent tweet chat, hosted by @DataPrivacyDay, on online safety tips for survivors, which includes additional resources and information.
