Our Chairperson, Stefanie Yuen Thio, recently spoke with The Straits Times about her personal experience as an online harms survivor, and the growing threat of deepfakes, image-based sexual abuse, and other forms of digital harm.
Even as Singapore strengthens online protections through the upcoming Online Safety Commission (OSC), it is equally important that victims know a variety of support is available.
At SHECARES, we support individuals affected by online harms through content takedown, trauma informed-counselling, legal clinics, and referrals to relevant services.
Creating safer online spaces requires a whole-of-community effort through stronger safeguards, greater awareness, and accessible support for those affected.
